What I was ....... long ago

I was there not to long ago ,

But I didn’t know a lot though,

About what I was or who I am,

And how to survive life’s traffic jam,

I was strong not to long ago,

took a while though ,

For me to develop strength,

To walk life’s long length,

I was young not to long ago,

When All I wanted was happiness though,

I was young and not ready ,

To become an adult and get unsteady,

I was clueless long ago,

When I had no worries though,

I had guidance and dreams,

But nothing is ever as it seems ,

I’m older now compared to long ago,

Even though, 

The same person didn’t change,

My life got re-arranged
