Wish

Running around
Climbing trees
Falling down
Trying on
our parents' clothes
We wish to be older
We dream of being doctors
teachers, firefighters
We wish to be older
Coming home
Crying now
Make up running
Not caring
We wish to be younger
We yearn for the wonder
The safety of childhood
The absence of true pain
We wish to be younger
It's funny how we're
never happy, just
Being where we are
We always have
to wish for
something
different
