Growing up,
I never gave a f***
about my clothes,
or my hair,
But once I got on board,
with what to wear,
it became to much to bear,
I want to go back,
to those simple days,
playing four square in the rain,
getting those jeans all muddy,
as the ball splashes dirt, up,
and you really didn't care or notice,
you just hit the ball,
and smiled back.
