It's A Hard Knock Life

No one tells you how hard life is when you're kid, you look at adults thinking I wish I was like them they can do whatever they want, no one tells them what to do, their lives are easy they've got lots of money and can buy anything they want. Then you turn into one yourself and it hits you like a tonne of bricks, it's not as easy as you thought, there's bills you have to pay, you have to work to get "all" the money you thought the adults just had. There is always someone with more authority than you telling you what to do. It's a strange world - we spend our whole childhood wishing we were adults and our whole adulthood wishing we were children again.

Grown Up.

Society instructs us to grow up so fast, Childhood not built to last. In Fisher Price kitchens as we play house, Our biggest fear catching louse.

Coffee Table Stage

The sunset shone a reddish gold. Upon two girls, just eight years old. They twirled and spun, they sang and danced. Lost within a youthful trance. A coffee table was their stage.

School Days

School days are the best days of your life. I agree with that to a point,had no worries or strife. Running to school to play with my mates. Playing conkers and football outside the gates.
