Faded Hands of Creativity

Pretend is the best game
No need for money, fancy things.. or even clothes
Cause Pretend is the best game
A bed sheet made into a robe fit for a king 
A wooden spoon becomes a leathal weapon to defend the castle
There are no limits when you can pretend
There is nothing like a childs veiw on life
Mommy and Daddy are in love
All the world is rich
No one dies
Mean people always lose 
And a happy day is one random giggle away
Then...
Something becomes tainted
Something.. ruins us..
No longer do girls have koodies
No longer do monsters live under beds
And all of a sudden you find yourself covering yourself in clothes 
To hide who you really are
A different kind of pretend takes place
Pretending to fit in
Pretending that you're better than others
A tainted game in which people decided who plays
Our hands fade our creativity
No more finger paintings 
No more sand castles
Not enough time to play
I wish i was a kid again
I wish my life was as simple as a happy meal
The innocence within me passed way long ago
How ironic
How the tables have turned
Now wishing i could find my simple ways again
When it seemed like only yesterday
I couldn't wait to grow up..

2 - It really is a game we play...I have had to realize life can be harmony and it can be horror. Pretending to be someone you aren't just to fit in, to not be judged, made fun of, talked bad about...but just to be accepted, and when I say accepted, I mean for the true us, our hearts. When I think of how many times I've tried to fit in, it makes me sad...because if someone doesn't like me, agree with me, or care about me...that's their problem! There is One who knows who is pretending and who is true to themselves. (Comment this)
