I thought life is easy, now I know it's not.
I thought that adults had an easy life.
Now I know that it's easier being a kid,
with a low stress life,
without paying the bills and working.
I thought movies are better than the books,
because it seems so much easier to watch than read.
But now I know that books have so much more details,
and movies leave out so much.
I thought having fish would be easy.
Now I know that you have to clean the tank,
change the filter, deal with dead fish, and pay a lot.
That is just to keep it looking nice.
I thought the popular kids
were the nice ones.
Now I know that most popular kids
are jerks and just want attention.
I thought life is easy.
But now I know it's not,
with ups and downs,
and twists and turns.
Just don't make a small hill become a mountain.
