It seems to me, because I've read your other poems, that the speaker is grown, and she's reflecting. Not necessarily a kid talking in the moment. The poem isn't very long, and when you get to the last lines it's talking about when you were a child. You or whoever. Probably you. Somebody was a kid.
You're writing the poem as an adult. It's not hard to imagine the speaker as an adult talking about when they were a child. Whether I read your other poems or not.
Maybe a child is talking. But that doesn't mean a child is writing, or speaking, the poem.
