It Seems We Forget

 

It seems we forget

childish, simplistic joys

when the vast world thrusts open

our eyes to differentiate between

simple and complex

comfort and necessities.

Like how the familiarity of

sweet Chap Stick, cookie dough between small fingertips, pure fruit smoothies Nana would make, large sweaters, when Mom used to engage.

 

Is not essential to

a drivers license, what depression meds to take, the side affects of a termination, reversing the affects of THC, what nutrition is needed to intake.

 

We lose so much when we’re forced to grow

as we let go of simple things

that once bred bliss,

we hide away and conceal

parts of our souls

 

We unwillingly sacrifice our childhoods to enter a world that doesn’t want us.

Till we find our second home.
