what changed?

what has changed:

me or what i know?

 

i am not who i once was,

i've grown aware of how the world is.

 

the bitter truths and sweet lies;

i guess ignorance truly is bliss.

 

i want to go back to those sweet times

having ice cream from the truck that passed by each evening.

 

i realized with age came a lot of things,

they told me of wisdom-

this isn't what i had expected.

 

when my grandmother left,

i drew her a picture for my mom to give her.

when my grandfather left,

i cried.

 

life changed the way i percieve life,

but i won't let this impact how i live mine.
