If I look back far enough…
If I look back far enough
I see me as a toddler
In the house where I was born
Broken windows yet rays of sun
Brick walls whose color was dun
But playing with dolls was the real fun
“Oh honey when did you grow up so much?”
~
I move further
and I see my first day at school
Been a mumma’s girl for five long years
Said good bye as i hold back the tears
Tied my hairs kept a line in the stairs
I introduced myself as the class cheers
I walk out the door and one figure appears
I kissed my mom with the fall of tears
“Oh honey when did you grow up so much?”
~
I move further and i feel
Those were the days
Morning at school back at noon
Evening at the garden green and cool
Back at seven that was the rule
That life was the real jewel
“Oh honey when did you grow up so much?”
~
I move further
I’m eighteen now and I see myself
Surrounded by the countless cliques
Filled with lousy chicks
Engaged in social media clicks
That’s when the reality kicks
“Oh honey WHY did you grow up so much?”
