Big lie
A time when we were just a kid,
Had no apprehensive to how we live,
Never did we expect exclusive more than we need,
Spent a time playing a seesaw were we meeked,
I'm hungry screamed at mom and again we will play hide and seek,
Swear happiness did relies on that old radio beat,
Nor we care about being poor or what's rich,
Cuz mom was always be there with milk and meat,
How perfection life we assume we thought we lived,
Time swift,all that joy was a lie as we grow big,
Walking heart wrenchingly on the road alone to stand still,
And those journey were what we had never been by the wheel,
Flying kite, riding bicycle, made us to dig a pit to depressed,
To get buried by themselves not knowing life ahead is an Everest .
Need no money we used to yelled and it now makes me smile,
Now I feel like I've Alzheimer's and more sickness, it does compile.
And in thought of giving an idolize life to our kid,
We end up being in debt and raising more credit,
About this poem
This poem is about understanding the reality. And those lie when as a kid thought it was a Truth we live
