Childhood

A child

Bright lights

Crying

Different places

Eating hard foods

Figuring out words

Getting left behind

Helping another child

Interests are necessary

Jumping off playground not allowed

Kindergarten done

Learning more every day

New friends

Opening presents

Preparing for aging

Quaint living

Remember your youth

Staying in the hospital

Tired always

Under harsh lights

Voiceless

Wishing for release

Xylose down a tube

Yelling for life

Zero time left
