Childhood

The soothing music from a childhood game or show brings you so much comfort.

The familiar tunes activating something in your brain that creates instant happiness.

Memories from so long ago that you forgot they even existed.

You’re so far along in life and so much is expected from you that you can’t remember

 that you are still a child.

A child who is supported by their parents.

A child who still loves to watch cartoons and play video games.

A child who makes dumb insults.

A child who plays jokes on other kids.

A child.

Just a small child.

A child with a dream to succeed and become successful.

Being reminded where you came from,

 To what you are now by this piece that was in your childhood.

Feeling accomplished and proud

But

Not forgetting how much farther you have to go.
