Playing in the park,
Making up different adventures,
Being a new person everyday,
The time as kids we spend.

Life as kids,
Can be exciting,
Joyous,
Admiring.

I remember the days,
The days when we didn’t have a care,
The world was our’s to explore,
We didn’t care what anyone thought.

Tonight,
We are waiting,
Just to get put down,
Back to our place.

People in our time,
Don’t realize,
The pain they may cause,
Just to get to a higher place.

The days,
When we were younger,
Seem like a life ago,
But it was only yesterday.

People can make things go bad,
But remember,
You are you,
No matter what anyone says.

You can’t change you,
Be the person,
From the day,
Where nothing went wrong.
