I Miss Being A Child

Info

I miss being a child.

Back to the days when my only problem was when my parents make me sleep in the afternoon yet I still want to play. I remember hating the thought of sleep until I grew up. Now I ache for it, I barely rest my eyelids. But the misery and frustrations won't let me. They won't get tired from playing in my head.

I miss being a child.

Back when I ask myself how Barbie gets all her fabulous shoes and dresses. Because now, I hate asking myself why Barbie is so beautiful and I'm not. It's like I'm living in a Barbie world with gorgeous dolls surrounding me. Lost in a world where I do not belong.

I miss being a child.

Back when I thought of love as a scene of happily ever after. Not as something bittersweet, painful and destructive.

I miss those days when I see the world as a kingdom and I'm the princess living in it. Because when I grew up, I realized how far I am from being one.

I can only reminisce how sad I was when the rain starts pouring for I cannot play outdoors. Now, the rain has been my happy pill. The smell of it became my marijuana. It's sound summarized my whole playlist. The rain drops are my tears' companion. They're twins with different mothers; the other is the cloud, the other is my eye.

I miss those times when I look at people, admiring their smiles. I wish I hadn't knew what's behind every beam.

I miss hugging my pillow for its softness, not for its size that can cover every sob that I quietly release.

Would you take me back?

Back when I was a child, when my laughter was still genuine and my happiness wasn't a lie.
