I Remember When...

I remember when I had no troubles or worries.
When I was young and innocent;
a child with blond, silky curls, and big, deep blue eyes like the ocean.
I remember when my father hurt me;
And when my mother hurt me, too.
I remember when I cried myself to sleep, and the times I forced myself to go to school while I was sick,
Just so I wouldn't have to stay home.
I remember when it got better than worse but better again.
I remember the times when I had fun and lived life to the fullest, then I started getting sick.
I danced and played almost every sport I could.
I remember the doctor's appointments becoming so frequent it was practically a second home.
I remember when I grew up,
Even thought I am still growing.
