Growing Up

three again and smiles are back
worlds eyes are new and nothing matters
i laugh at everything and chuckle at the stars as they dance in the night sky
i notice only what i want, and words arent so jumbled
everything is new and clear
everything is fine
the sun will always shine
days go on and years go past
as i learn how to count to ten
things aren't so clear, but still so much fun
i see how fast my time can run
five years on and the world is sad
with many broken bones
nothing hurts but hearts and minds
please give me sticks and stones
I am18.
today repeats. Yesterdays memories, are only in my dreams
