child hood

lyv 2009 (my living room)



I miss the fucking days when no one cared about what we looked like or talked about. I miss the days when we could run, dance and sing!!! The days where we didn't have to sit on the bed and cry about the ones who didn't give us a chance. I miss the days when we could just simply ask someone to marry us with a ring pop. the days when no one could change the way we thought of the world. the days when we believed Santa was real and Batman could fly. but now no one can change it back to the way it used to be. So maybe it's just me? crying on my bed, and no not because of some fucking boy who said I was beautiful, but because I MISS MY CHILDHOOD OK?! because now no one can make me feel the way I did when I was that young and that free. but all we do now is look down at our phones and look for boys to "love" at the age of 13. But guys come on! Why can't it be the way it used to be? when politics didn't matter and everything was filled with joy! we would just argue with our siblings about what we watch tonight, but now we are arguing about who gets the boy. WHAT'S NEXT SOCIETY? WHAT ARE YOU GONNA THROW AT ME NEXT?? some stupid love story to throw me off track? or some pretty boy to call me beautiful?! Well it's too late because I'm not going to fall for it again! never again! not after you made me believe in all the lies you told me.... but it doesn’t matter any more because society will no longer tell me who I am. And will never have the power to do so. Ever again.
