when I was younger,
I'd scrape my knees,
eat tons of junk food,
and was carefree,
now that I'm a teen,
I get my heart broken,
Have to watch what I eat,
and Have too much stress,
getting older sucks at times,
but it can be good,
you understand more things,
you can get a job,
begin to drive,
and start becoming independent,
I dread the days after my teens,
when I'll have to buy grocieries,
pay all those bills,
leave your parents,
and have no time for hobbies,
I embrace my youth while it lasts,
because it'll be gone...in a flash.
