Like a Child

Playing with rhyme.

I was four

or maybe five

Just beginning to be alive.

The things that meant the most to me

Were things to touch, to taste, to see

Too to doubt

Too young to hate

Too young to fret about my fate

My heart and soul were truly free

and my whole self belonged to me

But time's a hateful enemy

It killed the me I used to be

And so today I mourn my death

and wish that I like Lazereth

Could rise and be what I was then.

I want to be a child again.

Wow ! That's incredible how you've sown that one up with Lazereth and the feelings and everything. Yes, you are definitely playing with rhyme and using it extraordinarily well. I think you missed out the "young" in "too YOUNG to doubt". Just wonderful....

This is truly amazing. I was caught up in it the whole way through, and it's exactly how I feel everyday even though I'm only 17. It's odd how things work out.
