Childhood

I was sitting before a glass window

Having a sip from my mug

Watching children play a riveting show

That awakened some memories from a grave I dug

 

The sounds of juvenile bodies laughing and kicking their ball

Took me back to the old times

The old times where I used to run in every hall

Laughing and dancing while singing nursery rhymes

 

The good old days when my hobby was to run and bounce

or be a young prince fighting the ogre living in the park

When words like death and suicide were too hard to pronounce

And my worst fear was to sleep all alone in the dark

 

The good old days where my only worry was missing my evening cartoon

Or if my grandma is making me my favorite soup

Back when I used to steal from her tiny kitchen like a raccoon

To bribe and feed the sleeping stray cat next to her stoop

The show ended and each actor parted their way

As their ballet turned into a fray

Because of this ballet, my memories got rekindled

And now my only wish is to turn back into a child
