Nostalgia
Nostalgia over things you still considered to be recent,
Encounter past reflections from a time your skill was decent.
Put to the test today; what felt like only yesterday,
You find was years ago and now you’re left in disarray.
Realization that the things you thought you are you were,
Depreciation in the status of a connoisseur.
Admiration for your former self but also envy,
Indignation for the present puts you in a frenzy.
Unwilling to accept your intellect’s disintegrating,
Instilling into your mentality fictitious rating.
Aspiring to convince yourself that what you were you are,
Rewiring your own perception of your repertoire.
