These days I have warm hands, cold feet
Prefer my chocolate bitter sweet
Skies rainbow-wrapped - it wasn't always so.
For time changed my philosophy
Reshaped my personality
My history hangs around and won’t let go.
Or is it that experience
Moved on my wide-eyed innocence
Into cold realism’s comfort zone?
For whatever rhyme or reason,
Hope is now with caution seasoned,
All emotions mixed, none standing alone.
Those clouds to me are silver lined,
Sun shines in my umbrella mind,
I’ve learnt that good or bad, all things will pass.
And though I hold contrary views
That means I win, but also lose
What matters most is life; still in the glass.

You've done a great job with this. I think you forgot the "s" in the second last line(mean(s)) and a semi-colon after life in the last line would have been a better choice, but at least there is punctuation and the structure is consistent. Thanks for entering and best of luck, but why are you so concerned about your anonymity?

Thanks for your comments. Yes the s is missing, have no view about the semi-colon, have corrected both. Anonymity is not a concern, just a preference at the moment.
