I’m surrounded by them
They’re my size
They sound like me
Some of them are little versions
Of my mom

It’s confusing, but now I know
There are boys like me and Dad
And there are girls, like Mom
But more importantly,
We little ones are kids

Being a kid is awesome
Cartoons, crayons, and playtime
No smartphones, no twitter, and no facebook
You have only one goal
Be crazy and have fun

I thought that this was forever
And then I went to school
I wasn’t scared
But it was different…
In a good way

Making friends for life
Without having the foggiest idea
As to what that really meant
I’m glad that’s how it starts
There’s hope in childhood

 

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

Part 2 of my autobiographical series of poetry.

Benjamin R Bray

Writing my way through life's journey; finding inspiration in the people who make me feel like I deserve to be here. In their unconditional love that I find what little strength I feel I have to face this overwhelming world. Through my writing I find escape in expression of anything I'm feeling at the moment the pen makes contact with the paper.
