Candy Concerns By Kelsea Bittner

Candy Concerns

Dancing with vigor, singing with innocence 
Naked with laughter
Candy jaw-breakers in hand
The sticky layers melted away

Naked with laughter
Music booming throughout the room
The sticky layers melted away
A vision of pure, sweet happiness

Music booming throughout the room
No worries, no stuggles
A vision of pure, sweet happiness
Only life to enjoy

No worries, no struggles
The gift of being a child
Only life to enjoy
With a mind open to every wonder

The gift of being a child
The old should be envious
With a mind open to every wonder
Instead we mock them

The old should be envious
They see what we only hope
Instead we mock them
For what they do not know

They see what we only hope
And only dancing is a concern
For what they do not know
Are struggles that await them

And only dancing is a concern
All of the layers now exposed
Are the struggles that await them
The candy, the hope, vanished

  1. "Dancing with vigor, singing with innocence." I really like this line because it makes me feel cheerful and makes me think of my childhood. Love it!
