…I miss the days when live was simple, when I didn't have to think of what to eat, what to wear, what to speak, nor what to do, and everything went easy. It never used to matter whether I knew what I was doing, all that matters was that I was active, alive and doing something.
I close my eyes and imagine those good simple days and wish things remained the way they were, but quickly open my eyes to reality, to who I am today. its hard to swallow, am grown and have lost my innocence, lost my dependence, lost all the bliss I used to enjoy as dividends of my ignorance.
I miss the days when life was simple, when I'll do the worse and everyone will say "Allow him, he's only a kid". What immunity! I miss being immune.
I miss those days when live was simple, when I never used to know the distance of where I went, all because I was siting comfortably on somebody's back, then, a 10 kilometre walk and a 50 never use to make to me any difference.
I miss the days when life was simple, when all that meant work to me was; Eat, Sleep, and eat again.
I miss those days when life was simple, when all I needed to do to get anything was push a tear down my cheek, and prepare my mouth ready for a scream.
I miss those days when life was simple, when I never used to commit sin, ofcourse, nothing was counted to me as sin.
I miss those day when life was simple, when even "God almighty understood", He identifies my ignorance, He too will say; he is but a child.
I miss those days when life was simple, when I didn't have to defend myself, all went so easy, I didn't need to be a man. I had uncles, aunties, mum, dad and even neighbours rising up to my defence whenever I was threatened by a person or thing.
I miss the days when life was simple, when nobody expected much from me, all they needed me do was eat, mutter sounds, play and sleep well.
No goals,
No Targets,
No Ambition,
No reason to raise my Blood Pressure.
Oh, what a life, can anything be sweeter than this?
I miss the days when things were simple, when I didn't have to be in any official relationship, when I used to be in all available relationships, as every girl around me was "My wife".
I miss those days when life was simple, when I never used to have romantic feelings to weigh me down, as all I ever had feelings for were toys, games and play alone.
I miss the days when life was simple, hmmmmmmmnn (sighs), I miss those days, Lord knows I miss those days!!!
Did you ever have them? Do you miss them too?

"A huge number of humans have their Truth-Reserve/account either fat or static. We rarely withdraw nor spend from it, and will rather run life's transactions with that (il)legal tender, LIES". -TW™ Its not so amazing today how accepted, tolerated, and infact enjoyed (in the actual sense) lies are. Little wonder I chose to coin it as "(il)legal Tender". Illegal tender in every sense of it, yet legal tender judging by the widespread acceptance and employment of it. Why Account? Account owing to the fact that we know the truth, identify it, gather it, but yet fail to employ it, resulting to a mere build up (Account/Reserve) in our hearts, while refusing to spend/transact with it. Note: Truth spent yields even more dividends that truth stored. Why Lie? The "cover my/your arse" mentality/syndrome has taken the good-life over from us, I wonder why on God's earth we left our arses open in the first place, and who told us lies truly covers anyone'
I must confess @ ds point this is wondaful. Thumbs up . Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteIndeed we all miss those good 'ol days, but what makes worth living is the constant called 'CHANGE' without it we'll all be bored sick of our lives. Nice one Wordsmith!
