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

Excellent write
Thank you very much
You're welcome
How we long back to times gone by when things always appear nicer, those type of memories are what make us feel safe and secure, but we all have to move on at some point, enjoyed the read.
Yeah, even if moving on is hard, we all do, thank you.
You are very welcome
growing up is way way way overrated, very beautifully said.
Thank you, I agree
