Disney Channel and Dad jokesÂ
In a room of pink walls.
Sweet pancakes and egg yolks
Begging for a dog!
Grades were just numbersÂ
And calories didn’t exist!
Oh, it was nice to be a child! Ignorance was bliss!
The dog made me happyÂ
Such a cute face
Smiling every morningÂ
From the same cozy place!
Yes I was happy!Â
But happiness went blip
No more pink walls now.Â
And Dad’s age is on the slipÂ
I cry at sad moviesÂ
cause now I relate.Â
I wish I cared lessÂ
About looks and my weight.
I mumble out words now in fear of being wrong…
How did we get to this land of sad songs?Â
Are you happy, they ask? Yes! Yes!Â
I say. Â
How could I not be, when I have it my way?Â
A family, a home and things that I ownÂ
I should be grateful, I shouldn’t atone.Â
But happiness flees, it flees! It flees!
The older I get, the less that I see!Â
Take me back to when depression was small
And anxiety was nothing at all.Â
And I am still young! There’s still room to grow!
But it seems where I go,Â
unHappiness follows.Â
