When I Was A Child Poem by Shubham Agnihotri

When I was a child I could speak anything without measuring the words,
and I could play everything without calculating the time,
and I could buy candy and toys whatever I loved without considering the risks,
Now I am young but I cannot do those things in the same way,

When I was a child I could fall asleep at any moment I felt weary,
And I could read the comics for the whole of the day,
And I could fight over injustice with my shrieking face and fiery voice,
Now I am young but I only regret not enjoying the day,

When I was a child I learned how power and discipline linked in a twistedway,
And I could enjoy fests as there would be no one like this,
And I could not think about division yet existed,
Now I am young but I regret why I ain't a child anymore,

When I was a child I could explore the town with my feet that seemed my own country to go,
And I could not rest while shunning away from the pain of injuries though,
And I could weep more and laugh more whenever my heartfelt that way,
And I always wished to grow up early,
Now I am but I, sometimes, desperately want I could be a Child once more,
