Revision in progress:
Do you miss the times of silly rhymes and charming fairy-tales?
 Do you miss the fun of plastic guns and boats with paper sails?
  Do you miss the same old stupid game you used to pay with dad?
   Do you miss the dreams and fantasies, the life you could’ve had? (perhaps "a life you could've had?" because even though you may have blown one chance, as long as there is breath in the body there is always another chance at finding happiness.)
    Would you change the way you left that day now knowing what you do? (I like this redo over the original)
     Would you change the words they overheard knowing there’s no take two? 
      Would you change the life of made-up strife that now is all too real?
       Would you change the choice and used your voice not thinking you should steal? 
        Do you miss the times of silly rhymes and charming fairytales?
         Do you miss the fun of plastic guns now that you’re locked in jail?
