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
