wasn't much of a kid.


ive always wanted to grow up. 

to be a "big kid"

but now that im grown, i wish i was a kid again.

ive had to grow up and mature alot faster than others

had no dad most of my life, just my mom, sisters and brothers

and i never really realized, that i wasn't much of a kid anymore

until one day i saw this family with three children at the grocery store

i saw the way they looked at eachother and played

no care in the world, today was just another day

but for me ? oh i had responsibilities

only 12 years old but carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders

it wasn't until that day, that i realized

i wasnt much of a kid anymore.
