I can never forget the joyous days of my childhood, especially the summer when all we did was swim in the river or lie on it's edge, the sun beating down on us on those warm days.
These days the river is off limits - something about chemical run off from a factory upstream. Not that I would have time to go to the river anyways as I work on the line in that factory building furniture for twelve hour shifts for six days a week. When at home, an appartment that I only see to laid down and sleep in, I spend my income on cheap alcohol to keep the stress of everyday out at bay.
There was love once, but that was highschool, and she was a cheater. I never really wanted to try, and I don't have the time anymore. All I do is work and work, and get drunk to get it out of my system.
My childhood I will never forget. When work wasn't a concern and I looked forward to everyday. I remember those days as I remember that I will be dead soon, and this will end.
