I wish I could go back to kindergarten
where you were friends with everyone
You only ever had to be yourself
No one cared if you couldn't throw a ball
or run fast, or even read
Nowadays I feel like I spend more time trying to impress people
than I am making myself happy
I can't run fast, I can't throw a ball very far
I love to read though...but here...that doesn't matter
Everything changed
I used to be friends with everyone!
Now I'm friends with a select few
The few that stayed
I can sing, I can act, I can talk for hours
Apparently people find that annoying
I'm not cool because I don't play sports
I'm not a cheerleader or a dancer either
I play in the band
and sing in the choir
perform in plays
read poetry in speech
It's funny how much things change
Your classmates
your teachers
your surroundings
and yes, even you
I wish I could go back to kindergarten
I wish nothing had changed
