Ah-Mazing. {JustLook Back}A Poem by ThereWasBloodEverywherethis isnt relaly a poem.. but its cuteWhen I was younger I wanted to be older, and now that I’m older, I wish I was younger. Used to, my parents would wipe away the blood from my knees; put a cute little band aid on my scrape, and a kiss on top of it all. I would magically wake up in my bed in the morning and wonder how I got there, when I fell asleep on the living room floor. Staying up late meant going to bed at 8:30, and the only electronic found in my room was a color changing night light. The only time a boy made me cry was on the playground, and broken hearts were only stepped on cookies. Friendships were built by trading what was inside your lunchbox, and sleeping in school was part of the schedule. Chocolate milk and puppies meant everything, and clothes were just something your parents put on you when you woke up in the morning. We all had cubbyholes and homework never existed. Parents smiled and laughed at every word you said, and people stopped to tell your mom how adorable you were. Your dad was your best friend, and f**k wasn’t in your vocabulary. No one cared if you had the same shirt as them, and myspace didn’t exist. Mtv was boring, and the only thing you were in love with was cartoon characters. You took time to see everything around you, and you could make an adventure out of any place, at any time. It’s weird how one day everything changed. You could care less if your parents’ existed, and you start to obsess over how you look. You don’t appreciate everything around you, and you don’t know what you have until it’s gone. Your grandparents aren’t here anymore, and you spend most of your life behind a computer screen, with the phone glued to your ear. The friends you had 6 years ago, are enemies, and you suddenly start watching what you eat. Before you know it you will have kids of your own, and your parents won’t be here for you to rely on. the friends you have now, you probably wont see after high school and you will spent most of the rest of your life working to buy your kids the s**t that keeps them where they 'need to be socially'. They say life goes by fast, so slow It down as much as you can. Remember, you’re only young once so f**k it up right. Don’t take anything for granted because everything, big or little, affects your life in so many different ways. Be grateful and thankful for what you have everyday and remember to tell the your loved ones just how much they mean to you. YOU ARE WONDERFUL, so be proud of who you are and never let anyone bring you down or talk s**t about you! © 2008 ThereWasBloodEverywhere |
