Growing up is a scary thing
It feels like yesterday I was playing red light green light during recess
And today I’m fussing to myself about the fact that the stop light has been
On red for 2 minutes
There is so much to do in my life today
That the times I spent playing curb ball with friends in the neighborhood
Become non existent
As I realize that I have a whole life ahead of me
I sometimes wish that I could go back
Go back to the times when I could wake up on a Saturday morning
And make a bowl of coco puffs and watch cartoons
But now its school, work, bills, you know “Actual Responsibility”
But I know deep down inside
That the child I once was
Is still there
And it’s okay for him to come out from time to time
But I’m an adult now
I have to pay taxes and I get to vote
Like I said it’s SCARY
But even with all this responsibility
I will always hold onto the child I once was
Because this adult was once that child
And that child is now this adult
