The Child in Me

by Kristina Eby   May 24, 2004


As a child i wanted so much
there was so much i wanted to see so much i wanted to touch
i always pictured me being older
being so much bolder
but the older i got those dreams slowly faded away
i soon found myself always sad and always gray
i became to hate the ones i once loved
i soon found my dreams pushed away and shoved
from the day i was born to today
i have experienced dramatic change i should have never made
no matter what my parents did i never stop to rethink the love in my heart
but the older i got the slower my dreams and i began to part
i don't think anyone became the person they wanted to be
the child in you who couldn't climb the giant tree
or the elementary school years
you promised yourself never to be forced to do drugs by your pears
why do our once biggest dreams change the more we grow
these things we will never be able to know
my childish dreams will never leave me
forever ill have a fantasy..
