The Perks Of Childhood

I stepped into adulthood today,

The problems, the dramas

The examinations of life

The failures and what not.

Problems are no more solved

Using games like in-pin-safety-pin.

You just don't forget them

By crying on your mother's lap.

Your decisions become crucial for your future,

And boy, the degree of toughness they carry.

I miss those days of childhood

When my only dream was to grow up soon.

No one ever warned me

What a web of deceiving lies that was.

Oh childhood, please come back

You're my most prized possession lost.

I'm fed up with adulthood already

Where I have to grow stronger everyday.
