Childhood

I just want the simple life from when I was young I miss my innocence and ignorance, I miss having fun Piggyback rides through the park, being pushed in buggies at the grocery store I miss holding that guiding hand as I cross the street and intimate discussions about the morning’s cartoons I want to be young again so that I want nothing more than to play and enjoy the little things that used to be everything to me I don’t want to care about my class ranking and GPA, I want to honestly say, "What is that anyway?" Take me back to my Happy Meal days, before all these fashion trends and secular ways I want to think all people are good and that villains only exist in movies All I want is to think that the naughtiest word in the world is "boobies" I want my imagination to run crazily, creating lives for my toys I desire the simple fears of the Boogeyman hiding in the dark or a monster under my bed Take me back to the days of purity within my head I remember when all I wanted was to be old enough to go to school, be like the big kids and think the Power Rangers were cool I want to play little league baseball because it’s just for fun, no pressure to win, it was okay to win and lose some Take me back to when girls were full of cooties, there wasn’t any pressure, displeasure, or heartache I just want to be young again, so that maybe, just maybe, life would be nothing but fun again.
