Time
She misses the times where there were no worries
Now worrying is all that takes up her mind
She remembers being able to go outside play with no worries
Now she goes outside with caution and awareness
There was a time when she couldn't wait to grow up and be have responsibilities
Now She wishes she could go back and enjoy it while it lasted
Sometimes she hates how fast she had to grow up and be mature
Why couldn't it hold off a couple more years
Because now all she's left with is worry and a mind filled with confusion on where time had gone
Now she has people to look after even though she's still a kid herself but who else will help them
The times when mom said be home before the lights come on
The times when she would have a friend over and played with her dolls for hours
She can smell the fresh outside air she used to breath in as she climbed trees
Now that smell smells different it smells processed and tainted
Overtime her 10 friends went to 2 the sleepovers disappeared she had work now
No time for parties or games
The one person she loved the most turned their back when she needed them most
Remember when they said theyd always be there ?
But thats apart of life
She knows she cant dwell on the past because part of life is to grow up but
She just misses the times with no worries
