5

When I was 5 and wild,
I hate bein treated like a child,
keep on hoping to be 27,
so it'll be easier to get even.
But Mom told me,

"be joyful N happy,

as you'll realise eventually,
this is the happiest time, you'll see"
...I thought she's bluffing, as it seemed to me,
It's the adult who're happy truly,

as they seemed to be free,
unlike the 5 years old me,
who's to get permission,
even just to pee.

I realised now after so long,
Mom's right and I was wrong.
Again!
