Back when we were young~

Growing up...

By KodahPublished 2 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

Back when birthdays were exciting,

Back before food had calories,

Back before your grandparents lived forever,

Back when Christmas was all about Santa,

Back when people weren't so judgmental,

Back when the first day of school was fun,

Back when sleeping was the worst part of the day~

Consisted of a child,

Who was clueless of what stood behind those doors,

Protecting from the outside world, which was the chore.

No worries, no stress, just pure delight,

Oh, how we miss those carefree nights.

Before the harsh realities were exposed,

The inside happiness started to close,

Leaving to a place we would not yet find,

In a world of the unkind.

We cherish memories, hold them tight,

And create new adventures, day and night.

Back to the day,

When life was easy~
