A Child No More
I used to watch movies, now i watch cartoons. I used to buy books, now i buy
toys. I have become a child again. Calling for my mother in the midst of the night,
crying and throwing fits when i dont get my way. I have become a child again.
Walking around the house with my thumb in my mouth and my teddy in my arm,
wanting all of the new Bratz and barbie dolls. I have become a child again. Finger
painting my multi-colored turkey on Thanksgiving, eating all of the pies and
yams. I have become a child again. I want this, I want that. I have my mother's
love. I never stopped being a child.
