As a child you are free

Free to be careless

Free to be playful

Free to explore

Free to dream fantasies

Free to be young

As a child you could do a lot

You could go anywhere

You could do anything within reason

These are the things I never had

These are the things I wished I had

These are the things that I had dreamed I had

However that isn't so

I will never be able to be the kid nearly all else could be

Childhood to others was freedom

To me, childhood was a prison
