Now and then

Hurriedly I could run to them
Even, I beg to include myself
Just to be like one of them
A time when I was kid then.

Readily I tried best to blend
Didn’t want my ego to stand
Would love to be lost in them
A time when I was kid then.

I hesitate to be in the game
I want space and I give them
Think too much, just defend
I really miss being a kid then.

I need others to understand
Sit firm, not ready to mend
Complaint, even if I left them
I really miss being a kid then.
