I miss my innocence 

When I thought clouds were made of ice creamWhen of toffees and chocolate I would dream
When I thought there were little people inside the TV setWhen I played “house” under the mosquito net
When I thought my dad was a super heroWhen in front of mom I could a tantrum throw
When I thought Santa Claus was a truthWhen I actually believed that the fairy took my tooth

When I thought if I ate seed, a tree would grow from my tummyWhen the only gambling I knew of, was playing rummy

When I thought lying would make my nose grow biggerWhen my tears would spring from eyes at the slightest trigger
When I thought teachers were next to GodWhen I never knew there was something called fraud
When I thought my big brother was a dudeWhen I had no clue about any family feud
When I thought my friends were my lifeWhen life was a fairytale without any strife
When I thought everyone lives happily ever afterWhen every journey was an adventure
God, why did I grow big?Why did my innocent dreams break?Why did I become a realist?Can I be a child again, for heaven sake?
