Life Isn't Fair
Nobody said life was fair and I'm quickly learning as I growing older that life isn't fair. I mean my parents have no faith in my decisions. I do make mistakes but that is how we learn. I'm growing up and I would give anything to be five again. When boys had cooties and I believed I could be anything I wanted. A time when Santa Clause and the Tooth Fairy still existed. When the hardest part of school was counting to 100. When staying up past nine o'clock was late and the only babies me or my friends had were of the doll variety. The only thing that frightened me were the monsters under my bed. When daddy was the strongest man in the world. I want to go back to a time when I could do and be anything. When weed was just a dandilion growing in the flower bed and having one dollar made me rich. When Saturday morning cartoons were the highlight of the weekend and the only car I wanted was the Barbie power wheels. When smoking was what fire did. A time when I met someone and five minutes later they were my best friend. But I can't go back. I have to keep growing up learning more and more why life isn't fair.
