Stare outside on a Wednesday night,
Tell myself everything will turn out right.
I see the photos of when I was a little kid,
Oh how I wish I could be like that again.
Because now I’ve changed and it’s out of my hands,
And all I want is a second chance.
Because life’s not like it used to be,
And now I feel as if I don’t even know me
Know me.
All these memories and I can’t even recall,
Living here in a constant downfall.
If I could turn back times, lord you know I would,
I swear to you I’d be nothing but good.
Because now I’ve changed and it’s out of my hands,
And all I want is a second chance.
Because life’s not like it used to be,
And now I feel as if I don’t even know me
Know me.
Once upon a time I could tell you everything,
When tears were fake and words didn’t sting.
When boys had cooties and girls would laugh,
Lord let me say how much I miss that.
Because now I’ve changed and it’s out of my hands,
And all I want is a second chance.
Because life’s not like it used to be,
And now I feel as if I don’t even know me
Know me.
Well I’m here now and I can’t go back,
I’ve got to learn to put my life back on track.
I’m no child but I wish I was,
Because life back then was so much fun.
Because now I’ve changed and it’s out of my hands,
And all I want is a second chance.
Because life’s not like it used to be,
And now I feel as if I don’t even know me
Know me.

Hood-Winked!
Beautiful song you wrote here.

I thought this was a song. I thought it was well written. I like the message. It is inevitable that time changes. -
Hood Wink
I think this is very inspirational and honest. Yes, I wish I could go back to the days when all I had to worry about was who was coming back home from school to play and whether Miss *insert moody teachers name* would give me any trouble the next day for not doing Geography homework. If I knew then how easy it was, I would've done all of it. But we can't change back time, although I wish I goddamn could! I find your honesty very honourable as many will just pretend they can handle it, but you are expressing your doubts and worries - as I say most honourable. If you ever need to talk, you have a friend in me!

It's funny how we can't wait to grow up, and then once we have we wish we were kids again. We'll never be satisfied I guess. You've got a nice little ditty yet. Whether you've decided to make it a ballad, or something with a faster tempo, it has great flow. My only suggestion would be to have the choruses spaced a little more...like maybe two verses per chorus instead of one. Fantastic job on this though. >pixxie<
P.S. You've just been hood-winked by a Poetic Bandit!

This is a really good poem. The flow is really great. I almost wanted to cry. Going back to being a little kid with no worries would be sdo awesome. A dream that many people can relate too. This a fantastic poem. Keep writing Poetry (hope you don't mind if I call you just Poetry). You've got a wonderful talent.

Very well written and very well said. We all wish we could go back and change our life. Since we can't we look to God put the past behind us and change the future.

Oh my...this is very lovely...
great flow and rhythm within your well penned words!
Wouldn't this be so wonderful with a soft piano background...very melodic!
Yes...looking back is something I understand all too well...however...I don't wish to return...NOPE...I am walking toward the LIGHT...which is FORWARD only...not in reverse! LOL!
You, too, shall find the light by walking FORWARD...
but the missing of childhood is fully understandable...and I agree...even today...I pray for God to bless me with a childish heart...it is my greatest wish!
May you be blessed with the same!
Blessings! Tammy

So sad, but so beautiful. This flows so well and I love the chorus. Sometimes I want to go back so much too. It's sad that we can't rewind.
