Take me back

" I can't wait to grow up" I foolishly said when i was a kid

As I grow older I wish I can become younger 

becoming an adult is something that I don't wanna be

I miss being a kid

I miss being free

As an adult my mind is constantly racing

as a kid, the only thing I was racing my new toy cars

now I have to worry about paying bills

back then, everything I did was a thrill and all I did was chill

I have to be on time for work

when I was a kid, work, well there was no work just play

I was always at a friends house crying to my mom "please let me stay!"

toys turned into drugs

juice turned into beer

back then my biggest fear was getting hit in the rear

now i have to worry about which way the car steers

the music back then had lyrics and rhythm

now it feels empty like nothing meaningful is in them

"time goes by so fast" they said but I never paid no mind

until I was 18 and realized my life has moved faster than the blink of an eye

to all the kids, enjoy your childhood and have as much fun as you can 

because being grown up is hard work and so far I am not a fan

I can relate to wanting to go back and enjoying the simple things in life and not worry about anything, but time has a way of moving forward. The part that spoke to me the most was "As an adult my mind is constantly racing," at times this drives me nuts lol

Good Job
