to be a kid

when i was a kid,
i held the world in my tiny palm.
now i'm just endlessly bored,
haging from alarm to alarm.

i wish i was a kid,
so i could talk to peter pan.
now i'm one of the grown ups,
a baby forced to be a man.

when i was a kid,
all the days were bright.
now it's all midnights,
running from fight to fight.

i wish i was a kid,
so i could think whatever.
so lips would stop moving,
and i would keep my thoughts togther.

when i was a kid,
they all said i need to grow.
now i am disapearing,
a glow by a glow.
