Childhood
when did you grow up,
from throwing paper planes,
building paper houses,
watching birds in the sky fly.
When did we grow-
from the little child who would-
cry without feeling embarrassed,
to the ones that are now locking up;
bottling up several emotions.
How did we grow,
from all that we didn't know,
to this.
Ever wrapped your head around the day-
when you never played again,
or even went ahead to earn pals without bias.
Oh, look how our childhood was wasted,
to this.
Darling,
when did you grow taller
and watch your dreams get smaller...?
