I Missed Out on My Childhood

I was robbed of my youth
I didn’t get to do
A lot of the normal things
Other little kids got to

I don’t know how to ride a bike
Or swim well in a pool
And if I try to double-dutch
I look like a complete fool

I never fell and chipped my tooth
I never scraped my knee
I didn’t learn to rollerskate
Or how to climb a tree

I didn’t go to preschools
And make friends with kids my age
I didn’t go to the park or zoo
To see the lion in its cage

I grew up much too quickly
I matured way too fast
Wish I had another chance to be young
I need a blast from the past!
