The adventurous innocence
Something I crave again
My childhood had magnificence
When I created a secret den
To hide all my treasures and glories
Away from everyone else
I began writing stories
Of happiness itself
Because that was all I knew
For there was wonder everywhere
Now I wish that were forever true
That the world was always fair
If only I didn’t know certain facts
That make life such a scary thing
My childhood has splits and cracks
To it I’ve stopped trying to cling
I let it go, the childhood magic
But with me it seemed to stay
My younger years were so majestic
And I remember them to this day
The way everything was so nice
I wanted it to last longer
I was so joyous with my life
Good things couldn’t seem any stronger
But then time passed and I moved away
From things that were deemed childish
I wanted to go back to where I wanted to stay
In the world that felt so fun and lavish
It lasted a while, but not long enough
I begged for life to unwind
But after some time, I finally grew up
And left my childhood behind
