I Want It Back
I can still
Remember those days
Where kids were normal kids
And everything made sense,
At least for a little while.
But then I grew up,
Getting older
And older
In my mind
From all the awful knowledge
Contained inside
Learning things I wish
I’d never learned.
But dear,
As everyone says,
This is our world now.
This is just
The real world now,
So you just have to
Learn to
Deal with it.
But how I miss
Those easy,
Normal,
Blissful,
Beautiful,
Joyful,
Fulfilling days
Of youth.
