Little me.

Everything was simple when I was seven years old.

I'd wear shorts in summer, long sleeves when cold.

Now long sleeved shirts are always by my side,

When I have burns and cuts that I've got to hide.

I wish someone could take me back

To building forts, family dinners and for trips to pack.

When things I used were pencils and erasers.

None of knives and blades and razors.

When people didn't judge me for everything I did.

Things were way simpler when I was a kid.

How everyone would worry when I only scraped my knee.

Now I'm all broken and there's nobody to see.

I want to live in happiness and glee.

I really miss the little me.
