Life

Found out I'm somebody I didn't want to be
trying not to be the person I am
I thought that's who I was all along
as my identity sifts through my hands

too many things are wrong with this old world
to worry about what other people see
I'm too busy doing what I want
to worry about who I should be

but sometimes I miss the boy I once was,
so innocent and so naive
things just seemed to happen back then,
I didn't have to believe

trust was just the default, not a conscious effort
and my friends were all around
love meant I had a new puppy
and things just couldn't get me down

the sun seemed to burn all the time
and time existed in abundance
fun was all that mattered to me then
it's sad to have lost that innocence

but now things are very different
and it's not so easy to care
I've found that things aren't always right
and life is not always fair
