Time Is Not My Friend

My english homework

Now as I was carefree, ruler of the sky

One daddy’s shoulders I was a thousand miles high

That was my favorite place to be

And falling asleep in the car, to my room he'd carry me

From the parks silver swings

To all the toys nana brings

 

All the sun long I'd play

At the bright beach happy was i to stay

From the giant sand castles I'd crush with my feet

To all the nice tourists I would meet

Even the time I got lost on my birthday

But eventually they found me, to the officers dismay

 

Now as I am matured, I have entered high school

And P.E. is spent in the freezing pool

My semester is filled with tests, quizzes and a benchmark

Every night I'm up past dark

PSAT ACT SAT and more

Before I knew it college was knocking at my door

 

No more time for games and the beach

Only time to listen to the teachers teach

Why has no one commented on this? Are the comments erased?! I never know how to say that I miss my childhood soooo much and the girls I knew that protected my heart so easily in those years. Instead of hearing "Get over it. It's the past where the past belongs....", I wish I could have that time to mention everything YOU have mentioned here in the poem!! This was beautiful. The second half of the poem isn't designed that way, but didn't expect it to be, either. : ) xox Every line is a "How true!" and an "Awe!!". I Loved it..... xoxox -Mark
