Sweets Gone Bitter

bring me back to to those days.
let me relive sweet youth once more.
the trips to candy stores.
I'd even trade this job for those chores.
I crave the innocence.
life has never been the same since.
I didn't need to keep this perfect posture.
or overuse this fame filled signature.
things seemed so simple then.
all the years before ten.
lights and flashes only when expected.
you weren't constantly inspected then.
it brings me joy to have a voice
but was it really the best choice.
let me relive those memories.
let my heart be at ease.
bring me back to those days.
let me relive youth once more.
I crave the sweets for now
my mouth only tastes life's bitterness.
