Childhood

Carefree and barefoot
Grass-stained and lighthearted
Laughing and swinging;
That’s how is started

No drama, no stress
No worries or cares
No posers and players
Just happiness to share

People weren’t labeled
Cliques hadn’t formed
No essays were due
How life has transformed

Looking back now
I just want it back
It’s really so awful
We never realized what we had
