Life was different
It was better then
The sky was pure
And the air felt pleasantly heavy
My perspective was untarnished,
untainted by experience
Palpitations were less frequent
Hugs were tighter and lasted longer
The days were sleepy
And the night was magical
Light shining through the blinds
Was the most blissful thing
Also the most fascinating
The ground smelled like saltine crackers
I smiled more often
I knew who I was then
Even though I lived in
A constant state of confusion
Me, longing for the old days at age five
Life is the same
It was lonely then
It is lonely now
The sky doesn't love me anymore and
The air takes my breath away
Life has made me a meek forgiving rebel
Who craves conflict
There's no reason to be awake during the day
There's no reason to sleep through the night
I have to find my own magic
The light doesn't twinkle like it used to
But sometimes it does
My body is scared
But I still haven't broken any bones
I am not dirty but I am not as clean as I used to be
I've revived the answers to questions I never knew I had
I still have questions
I am wiser and for that more ignorant
I am happy
