I want to be a Child.

Here's a little poem I wrote a few months ago, on one of those sleepless nights when you're just staring at the ceiling unable to catch some sleep. I wrote it with complete sincerity, my heart opened up that moment, I hope you enjoy it and feel the same way I do.

I don't want shadows in my light,
I want stars during the day.
I want to be a child,
I want to play everyday.

I want innocence,
to not know about death.
I want to keep my essence,
not rush toward age.

I want to be a child,
I never want to change.
I want blue skies,
where nobody dies.

I don't want to worry,
I want to be careless,
I don't want to hurry.

I want to be a child,
I want to run between the trees,
I want to be a little girl,
Always chasing after bees.

I want to live my life,
never overloading it.
I want to be a child.

-Mónica.
