Wiser but dumber

By Kopal Kapoor

At 5, all I wished was

to write with pens like a grown up teen.

At 15, I wanted to quit school

and have a job like the adults I had seen.

 

At 25, I wished to be 15 again 

and skip the pressure of finding a job.

Now, all I want is to be 5 again

and play and sleep and giggle and sob.

 

If innocence accents joy

I choose to be wiser but dumber.

Let your inner kid prevail

afterall, isn't age just a number?
