An Ode To Childhood - Aania Rehman

Oh, if I could go back,

back to the childhood me,

the same old person,

yet not the same me?

Saying all that I could,

oh, so carefree then,

now why am I so fearful?

The younger me, oh living,

the older me though,

am I healing?

In faces, I used to build

my own versions of people,

now, in faces I find,

versions of myself.

From all that I could be

to what I should be,

oh, the seasons changed

and maybe so did me.
