I want to be Six again

I've been thinking lately how great it was to be young. To not know about the complications, let downs, and grief that comes along with growing older.
I want to think M&M's are better than money, because you can eat them. I long for days when life was simple, when all I knew were colors, number, patterns, and rhymes. But it didn't bother me because I didn't know what I didn't know and I didn't care. I want to be happy because I don't know what should make me upset. I want to think that the world is fair and everyone is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible.
Sometimes, while i was maturing, I learned too much. I've learned of love, hate prejudice, child abuse, illness, pain, and racism. I want to be six. I want to think that everyone including myself will live forever, because I don't know of death. I want to be oblivious to the complexity of life and be overly excited by the little things. I want to be naive enough tot think that If I'm happy, so is everyone else. I remember no seeing the world as whole, but rather being aware of the little things that concern me directly. I want to wonder what i''ll do when i grow up and what I'll be, who i'll be and not worry about what i'll do when it doesn't work out...
