You make believe,
Playing pretend
Like you are still
A child of age 5.
I see why you do it;
We all want to
Regain our innocence.
But the reality is
Once it’s lost,
It’s too late
To get it back.
My dear,
You need to grow up.
You need to
Accept responsibility
And the consequences
For your actions.
Stop living
In this fantasy world
Where no one
Gets hurt because
Everything is
Covered in bubble warp.
The reality is
We get hurt
By others,
And we even
Hurt ourselves.
But that doesn’t cause us
To become numb,
But instead
Learn to be careful
The next time again.
Sweetheart,
Just don’t repeat
Your mistakes.
