Where Have The Good Times Gone?
I'm Hardly The Age To Have This Dilemma Already.
But It Hurts.
I Remember When I Didn't Have A Care In The World.
When I Didn't Care What People Thought.
When I Still Thought The World Was All Sunshine And Rainbows.
When I Didn't Worry If My Friends Really Like Me.
When I Didn't Have To Worry Whether Or Not My Parents Could Put Food On The Table.
When Mom And Dad Still Loved Each Other.
When Everything Wasn't All Stress, Anxiety, And Depression.
When I Didn't Have To Worry About My Grades.
When I Didn't Know The Feeling Of Heartbreak.
When I Wasn't Insecure.
What Happened?
When Did Everything Change?
And How Do I Get Those Times Back?
