childhood

Look back at those pictures of you,

When innocence used to be your charm,

Look back and remember those times,

 When you smiled and it would last all day long,

Look back and then you'll see,

How awkwardness wasn’t you very amiable tree,

And look back once more you'll remember what smile stands for.

Now take a breathe and close your eyes,

Stand aside and realize,

How you were and what you changed,

Think again and thing with grace.

And stand in mirror again,

Not like how you do it every day,

Start with what you realized,

And think of all the change that came inside.

Besides the beard that gradually had grown,

 And lost a sense of humor that you always knew,

Besides your reputation that you have built,

And all the fun you lost in it,

Besides those tears that comrades you now,

And the joy that’s along lost heart,

Besides all that you've now,

Besides, all that you've ever built

Did losing childhood ever benefited?
