Childhood was so special when I was naive,

Living in the clouds and believing what I believe,

I had dreams and ambitions, never in decline,

Filled with excitement and joy with each passing time.

I thought my life would never change,

that I could stay in my dream state forever,

But now that I'm bitter and all grown up,

things have changed and remain unfixed forever.

The feelings and emotions of life,

Have forced me to grow up way too fast,

Missing the days of my carefree childhood,

and the ones that were supposed to last.

Forcing myself to be an adult,

Living with expectations and dreams of my own,

Going down a path I had never foreseen,

Experiencing sadness, despair and unknown.

Now that I'm all grown up and mature,

it's impossible to stay the same,

But I try my best to enjoy each day,

'Cause growing up shouldn't feel like a game.
