Innocence

something I’ll never get back

as I grow old

years added onto my life I realize how rare and

 precious childhood was

again I wish to be free

 again I wish to not have the stress of school

Again I wish to not hesitate before putting the balls of

Play-Doh in my mouth

Again I wish to spend hours building a simple Lego sets

Again wish to spend all my chores money on Webkinz

Again I wish to go back in time

To when I was young And didn’t realize the baggage I carry

To the time when I didn’t have my battle scars from depression

Permanently marked on my skin

I wish to go back to the time when missing a new adventure time

episode was the only reason I would cry

Child is precious and pure

I miss it
