Childhood memories of pink bikes

Laughing under bright, cloudless skies

Reading stories about princesses

Waking up to put on play dresses

In tree houses filled with best friends

Happiness seems to last forever.


Little girl now ten years older

Sat alone on an imprinted chair

glazed eyes stare at electrified screens

pointless words swirl in the cloud

created for some likes and comments

faking happiness under virtual lives.
