I want to go back.

Back to a time

When I couldn't rhyme,

And my thoughts were clearer after.

 

I want to go back. 

Back to when 

We all could be friends,

No road a dead-end

And air filled with laughter

 

I want to go back.

Back to myself

When I didn't need help,

And beauty didn't matter.

This is just a quick little ballad-type poem about how when we (teens) were younger, life was so carefree and everyone could get along, but now we are all so critical of ourselves and others.
