The weight of the world sets on their shoulders.
Line after line, duty after duty, disappointment after ...
Well, no wonder they all commit to quit.

Innocence is often overrated and underappreciated.
Looking back seeing the life I once led; useless and used
No more, yet somehow I don't like the person I've become.

Obsessed with whatever catches interest, careful.
Quickly overwhelmed by details, careless.
Shut out all that takes long, no fear.

Many good phrases...keep at it.

Peter

This is exactly my type of poem! Oh, I'm getting to like you Startle.
