Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Changed My Mind

When I was young so clever I

Did deem myself and felt compelled

To change my whole world into my

Sense of ideal in my mind dwelled.

As time passed I realized that

My world did not quite understand

My clever mental habitat,

And did not be as I had planned.

Instead of smooth sailing there be

One after another hiccup.

I realized it might be me.

My clever turned to wising up.

When wisdom let me know my fate,

Alas, I got that way too late.
