I Wish I Had Known

I wish I had known how liberating it was, being a little child.
No worries, no cries.
No aspirations, no hopes put high.
People? I have my own world, I don't need them anyway.
Selfishness won't let me feel others pains, but isn't it best to merely feel your own?
I wish I had known...
I would have seized every second.
Built up castles in the air and smoked them away.
Played under the rain, praying that forever it rains.
Found out a way to remain forever underage.
I wish I had known before I got here...
