Poetry For The Hurt And Loved

Simplicity

I miss the simplicity of childhood
I miss the way I used to smile
I had no worries or cares
I was free
But life has now lost all its simplicity
Life isn't sunshine and rainbows anymore
It's somber days and depressing afternoons
The simplicity of life is no longer there
Everything becomes a problem
Life is too complex to be happy
Life isn't just black and white
There are so many shades of grey in between
I wish life was pretty
I wish life was beautiful
Life has meaning back then
But as I sit in my dimly lit living room
I come to realize
Life fucking sucks
Life will stab you in the front and back
Life has no remorse
It isn't simple
Life is evil with dimension
Life is cruel with layers
Life is a book of pure despair
Life isn't simple
It never has been
But oh have the illusions of innocence taken over
I miss simplicity
I miss my life so
