Long ago I was different No cares in the world, No stress to keep me up at night. Long ago I was sweet, Needing everyones approval, Wanting to be perfect. Long ago I was innocent Never yearning to be touched, Never distracted by the though of anyone. Now I am different An adult with much to worry about, Seeming to stress over everything Now I am bitter Needing to look out for myself Wanting to be happy. I am no longer innocent For I have been touched, and I liked it.

From child to adult
Long ago I was different No cares in the world, No stress to keep me up at night. Long ago I was sweet, Needing everyones approval, Wanting to be perfect. Long ago I was innocent Never yearning to be touched, Never distracted by the though of anyone. Now I am different An adult with much to worry about, Seeming to stress over everything Now I am bitter Needing to look out for myself Wanting to be happy. I am no longer innocent For I have been touched, and I liked it.
