(this one is a little long)
One point
At one point in my life
I was happy I had no worries
There was no guilt weighing down on my chest
For not telling my family that I love them
Before I lost them forever
I had friends
They weren't the best
But they were all I had
I never really cared in the moment
But now looking back I should have put a little more effort
And not have been so easily controlled
By just wanting some friends to sit with at lunch
Homework was easy
I didn't have any expensive clothes
No one really cared what kind of brands you wore on the playground
Most of the kids just wore payless shoes
I had high expectations for life
Now those expectations are spoiled
I see that life can be a pain in the ass
I just want to be a child again
With no cares in the world
Instead of stressing over chemistry
I would rather wonder what I was going to buy at the annual schoolbook fair
Back to when I didn't care about my 'flaws
When I wasn't broken
When I was a happy child
The child who always wore a smile
No matter the weather
Back when I didn't have to struggle with anxiety or depression
But that point in my life is long gone
I can be happy at times
But the stress tends to overpower
All those happy thoughts that run through my brain at random times during the day
I now use reading to escape from this reality
One that when I was younger, I couldn't wait to have
All we wanted to do was be older
But now it seems all we want to do is go back to when we were younger

no I'm on to go do some chemistry homework that I really don't want to do
