when i was young.
i played. laughed. and did everything i wanted to.
i chased the kite.
i had no time for the sky.
i had to play.
i didn't have time for work.
i had to challenge my friends to games.
i thought i could win them all.
i didn't listen. i talked
i didn't really care. i had no worries.
i never had a care.

when i grew older.
i still played. still laughed. but i didn't do them as often as before.
i flew the kite.
i wondered why the sky was blue. why the clouds seemed peaceful.
i wanted to play.
i knew i had to do my work.
i challenged my friends to score.
i tried to win them all.
i started listening. talking less.
i started to know what it meant to care.
i wondered if i would ever care.

now.
i play sometimes. my laughter isn't what it was.
the kite has flown away.
i knew the clouds brought the storms.
i forgot about play.
i gave up challenging.
i knew i wouldn't win.
i listened. trying to hear the unspoken.
i knew how it was to care.
i knew how it hurt.
