when you think of childhood,

you might think of the sweet aroma of freshly-baked cookies

or the feeling of a warm hug from someone that cares about you.

when i think of childhood,

i remember the pungent stench of booze that burned the inside of my nose

and the desperation of wanting to be loved.
