Back when birthday parties

Meant twenty kids

Getting a sugar high.

Back when I thought

Twenty minutes of homework

Was a lot.

Back when I thought

Every day dodge ball

Was the best thing ever.

Back when my

Graduating class

Was seventy-five people.

Back when my family

Was together

And happy.

Back when I

Didn’t know what

Stress was.

Those are the days

I wish to go back to,

Before I lost

My innocence.
