Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for the world that I come from
'Cause I've been looking around
In the lost and found of my heart...
No one understands me
They view it as such strange eccentricities...
'Cause I keep kidding around
Like a child, but pardon me...

People say I'm not okay
'Cause I love such elementary things...
It's been my fate to compensate,
for the Childhood
I've never known...

Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like pirates in adventurous dreams,
Of conquest and kings on the throne...

Before you judge me, try hard to love me,
Look within your heart then ask,
Have you seen my Childhood?

- Michael Jackson


The author's comments:
I hope that people will understand that many people in todays world have no childhood. They are forced to work from the day they are old enough to, so they can make money for there family. Many children also come from broken or bad homes where abuse and being mistreated happens everyday. Please try to understand not everyone has an easy life, maybe not even a childhood.

It appears fairly obvious that this is a compassionate attempt to educe the modus operand of a tortured psyche, one who's childhood was tainted by abuse, pain, and responsibility no young person could survive without creating devices to compensate... Specifically- Jackson.

Life is perfect until you sit back and realize how boring it is without risks.

Great job! I don't understand what Michael Jackson has to do with anything though.
