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.
