I imagined life
To be a simple thing.
But when I grew up,
Everything began to stink!

Boys were introduced
Into my already confusing life.
When I was 7 or 8, I think,
I was being a pretend wife.

Mud pies and dirt cakes,
Wasn't my idea of delicious.
Tea and water that wasn't there,
Seemed to be quite suspicious!

Running through the sprinklers,
Cooties spread all around.
Missing front teeth,
That when you'd talk made a whistling sound.

Believing there were monsters
Hidden under my bed.
Sleeping in my parents room,
"No more of this" they said.

I needed to grow up
And I really did.
But this life has been a rollercoaster ride,
I sure do miss being a kid!

I wrote a poem just like this not too long ago. It was called "Missing my childhood". They had the same idea. Must mean that I'm not the only one who misses those days. Good job.

Nice write, I miss the easy life of a carefree kid as well.

You wouldn't worry about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.
