Childhood Days

I miss being a kid. I miss having birthdays parties in class with cupcakes and party bags with junk food and sweets in it. I still remember those times when I would fall asleep on the couch and wake up the next morning on the bed. I miss being able to run around playing freeze tag, police and thief, What Time Is It, Mr. Wolf, etc without getting tired. I miss putting my head down on the pillow at night and knocking right out with no worries or cares. But now before bed, tons of thought will be running through my head, disrupting my sleep and I always end up in tears. I miss eating how much I want without the thought of how much weight that I'm going to gain. Now the society calls you fat if they see you taking extras or even taking an extra cookie or two. I miss waking up on Saturday mornings to watch early morning cartoons like Teletubbies and Pokemon. I miss not being stressed up and when everything was pure and simple. Now I've got to handle the stress of relationships, society and peer pressure. I miss being able to dress up as I like. Now I've got to worry whether am I wearing the latest trend or am I wearing last weeks fashion. I miss being able to be me and not be labelled as a punk, goth, prep, tomboy, popular or loner. I miss the times when everyone was innocent and didn't think too much. Now I've got to watch every single word I say as the minds of the society is corrupted. I miss those times where you can listen to any kind of music without being judged. Now you got to listen to the latest artist. If you listen to old school music, people think you're lame. HELLO? Since when music has an expiry date? But what I miss most of all, was the time that never seemed to run out. Now I'm rushing for time. I'm growing up too fast meaning my brother is leaving to university soon, my favourite cousins are becoming adults and my parents are aging. Will time just slow down? I still want to be a kid. I'm not ready for college. I'm not ready to wake up and not see my brother at home. I don't want to lose my parents, I'm nothing without them. But sadly, time waits for no one. I just got to make with the time I have. No matter how fast I grow up, there's a promise that I made to myself, I'll always be a kid at heart.  

This song makes me cry everytime. It reminds me of the times when I was a baby; cute and innocent and then I grew into a toddler. From a toddler to a kid. From a kid to a teen. I'm in my teen years now and in a couple of years I'm off to University in a foreign country. Then I'll be an adult. But no matter what I'll always be a daddy's girl and the very same infant my mummy held on the first day.
