I Wish I Could Go Back To the Time

I wish I could go back to the time where all I had to worry about were scraped knees from playing around in the streets and having fun. Because now, I have to worry about what I wear when I'm out in the streets because people can be hard to trust. I wish I could go back to the time where all I had to worry about was breaking a crayon or losing sleep to watch the sunrise. Because now, I have to worry about broken hearts and losing friends, sitting in the bathroom crying my eyes out and trying to figure out what I did wrong. I wish I could go back to the time where I would dance in the rain and sing in the shower. Because now, I cry in the rain and cut my skin with a blade in the shower.

You do not have to fret about anything because it is ALL history - a learning experience. To change your life, change your attitude, e.g. most people believe opportunity is around the corner whereas it slaps them in the face everyday, but they don't see it because they believe opportunity is still around the corner ......
