Matilda Wormwood

Today I watched Matilda on the same VHS
I used to watch when I was a kid
In some ways it took me back but it also brought to light
The distance I am from those days

When you get older you develop certain skills
Like getting through an entire film
Instead of watching the same 30 minutes
Every single day of your lives

Tomorrow I just might watch Edward Scissorhands
I might find something to relate with
It's strange how much you miss out on as a kid
Like fake attachments to fictional lives

There's nothing here but fiction
Stories I can't call my own
Maybe someday I will have a story
That's mine

When I was younger all I wanted was to grow
Some things don't ever change and it shows
They say that growing ain't all it's cracked up to be
I have to admit I disagree
