My childhood was happiness It wasn't perfect It was actually bittersweet but I was happy The innocence of a child As I grew up, life smacked me right across the face I learned that life will never be what you planned it to be It made me experience tragedy, happiness, disappointment, and pain; lots of it It made me stronger and wiser But if I will be given the chance, I would go back to being that kid again because life was so much simpler back then
