Two Years Ago

Two years ago the world became a confusing place.
Things I thought I knew were wrong.
What I trusted had failed.
What I relied on was lost.

Two years ago was a scary time.
Things I thought would always be were gone.
What I expected came into question.
What I wanted didn't matter.

Two years ago my hero fell.
Things I thought were strong had faults.
What I thought would last had worn.
What I cared about was wounded.

Two years ago I wasn't prepared.
Things I thought were distant came close.
What I realized was scary.
What I learned I valued.
