To be a child {Revised 06/28/2k23}

{revised}

Childrens infectious laughter

A world that’s so carefree

No big solution, no problem

No roadblocks they can see

The world is simply joyous

As easy as could be

Nothing like the present

Between you and me

I wish to be among them

Dancing in the rain

Far from my problems

Or any sort of pain

Perhaps I wouldn’t be jaded

With the pure joy inside

Perhaps the memory faded

Oh to be young again

Before my dreams lay broken

When I wasn't afraid

With all my worries spoken

To hold it all at bay

Before I was shot down

Friends left to far away

Back then it didn’t matter

Couldn’t hurt the ones you love

Nothing could bring you down

Nor smite you from above

It was just laugh and smile

No responsibilities

It couldn't be too hard

To return to it, maybe?

 

 

 

 

 

 {Original}

when children laugh

there world is so carefree

there's no big problem

no boundaries they can see

there world is just happy

just a simple as can be

nothing like you or me

oh how i wish i was one of them

just playing in the rain

far away from my problems

from any type of pain

then I wouldn't be jaded

my world would be so happy

and my smiles wouldn't be faded

just to be little again

before my dreams were broken

when i wasn't afraid of the world

and all my worries were spoken

to have those all that today

before the world shot me down

and my friends up and went away

because then it didn't matter

you didn't hurt the ones you love

nothing could bring you down

and you still believed in someone above

it was always a laugh or smile

no real responsibilities

and everything was worth while

"i miss being little evreything was sooo much easier"{origional}

 

What I didn't know then is I was supposed to have more of that childhood. I barely had friends when I was young, I spoke to adult neighbors and family friends. When I found myself with friends they were the people I saw sometimes, I was still a companion to my mother more than a child. As a teen, well I was part time parent, advisor, councel, support... I thought I was so wise then. I was just a teen, just a child, I wanted to be goofy, life got serious too soon.
