Childhood pt. II

Actually this was my first poem titled childhood which was the first half of a poem called life, but the second half of that poem, life, sucked, so i just kept the first half and called it childhood.

 

I contemplate on a distant past

From then till today, the change was so fast

There was no concern for the world as time passed by

Life was so simplistic, just myself and I

 

I remember all my fantasies

which had no limits and no boundary

When I couldn’t tell the difference

between dreams and reality

Life was a playground, where everyday I was free

and my biggest fear of all was scraping my knee

 

I remember learning the alphabet

And of how to be polite to people I’ve met

There was no beauty in music, just another sound heard

And struggle at that time was only but a word

 

Little did I know of what happened outside my community

I was a child in this world, so innocent and free

My responses were excuses and my mind so feeble

                    Life was life, and people were people
