What a Childhood Should Be
I grew up outside with the sun on my face
not indoors to the glow of a screen
I grew up acting and playing pretend
not inside watching actors on a screen
I grew up going on walks with my friends and my dog
not alone texting friends through a screen
I grew up empowered by the skills I learned through play
not lost and behind because I stayed inside all day
