Simplicity: A Poem

as we get older, life becomes so complicated. it's so easy to take everything for granted. those simple, childish things we used to love have been put away in the attic along with many of our childish thoughts. but sometimes I like to go back. back to when things weren't so complicated. back to when everything was easy. you didn't have to look perfect all the time because nobody cared. mom and dad were your heroes. stupid was a bad word. when you were hurt, it could be fixed with a band aid and a kiss. studying was a foreign word. you didn't care what people thought about you. but most of all, no one held grudges, or started pointless drama, or or broke your heart. life was simple. sometimes I just like to remember the days when we were nothing but happy.
