Confusion of Time

Does it all come to pass
When the beginning is better than the past
And time doesn't seem so bad?

When questions exist no longer,
Looking back seeing how we're stronger
Than what we were before we understood

Before those pencil marks on the wall
Got to reach 6 feet tall
And your mother cried.

Before we worked all day
Forgetting how and when we played
Knowing only that we played often.

And it felt good didn't it?

Back when worries lasted only minutes
And all of our dreams were infinite.
The things we dreamed, and the things we'd seen
Before we really had seen anything at all.

I forgot where to find that place
Can't seem to find the time or space
And the only thing I want to know
Is where did it go?

That's where all these questions arose
I ask them to go back,
They tell me no
And I kick at them with both my feet
Before realizing my defeat.

I can't go back.
