Now and Then
Remember that one time
When you didn't cry
For all the wrongs?
Remember that one time
When you played all day
And smiled without pain?
Remember that one time
When everyone was your friend
Regardless of who they were
Remember that one time
When you carelessly boasted
About your entertaining day?
Remember that one time
When you ran to Mommy's room
Because you had a nightmare?
Where is she now?
Why can't she comfort you
Like she used to?
What happened?
Remember when
You played Dress-up?
You loved to be
Someone you're not
It was so much fun
Remember when
You played House?
You took care
Of the people you were with
It was so much fun
Remember when
You played Hide and Seek?
You hid from the seeker
And giggled when they were near
It was so much fun
Remember when
There was nothing but love
And freedom to play?
Absolutely nothing
Holding you back
Remember when
The only things that scared you
Were small insecurities?
Only some hugs and soothing words
Cured everything
How much do you remember?
