I cannot believe
how unkind I was as a child
in dance class I was jealous of a girl
with pretty red hair and freckles
and Simon I tried to control
and I tried to scare Jessica
(I still find myself doing so)
and I feel awful for being such an awful person
but here's the deal
adults would so often come up to me
and tell me I was the kindest child they knew
it makes no sense
I see my past self as awful
but as I age and have developed a voice of my own
adults reminisce saying
"Oh remember when you were a child-
you were so nice back then!"
