What happened to it, where did it go? Where is the child you used to be and where is their imagination now?
When I was five years old, I became a pirate for a week; I sailed the seven seas, taking it one sea a day. I went on unimaginable adventures, found treasure maps and followed the clues, plundering booty and fighting sailors along the way. For that week and no more, I was the bravest and richest sailor in the world, revered by all and loved by none.
It was the best week I had ever had.
When I was seven years old, I became an astronaut for a week; it took me twenty four hours to get to space along with my brave and courageous crew. Our mission was to go where no one had gone before... And we did; we visited far away galaxies, became trapped in nefarious tractor beams and somehow escaped the pull of black holes in Omega Centauri. We colonised new worlds and became a beacon of humanity in an action packed universe.
it was the best week I had ever had.
When I was eleven years old, I became a secret agent for a week; I worked behind the scenes for no nation in particular to save the lives of people in every nation. I infiltrated the most villainous of organisations and I always got the girl. In seven days, I saved the world from sinister plots seven times more than anyone else ever had.
It was the best week I had ever had.
When I was thirteen years old, I became a pop star for a week; I wrote chart topping songs and performed them in front of millions around the world. I was loved by all no matter what I did and what mistakes I made. I sold out the largest venues in the world, had the most flamboyant outfits and my records went platinum multiple times over.
it was the best week I had ever had.
Today I am twenty eight years old, I have been an astronaut, a pirate, a secret agent and a pop star but today I am none of those things. Today I worry about tomorrow, what it has in store and how to deal with it. Today is difficult but doable with the right attitude. Today is just that but sometimes I still get a mission... Should I choose to accept it.
