Being a grown up

May 12, 2025
By Anonymous

I seem to have forgotten my pursuits 

My passions and interests have began to fall

Though it seems every time I get bored

I find myself with no plans on call 


I've given my friends a salute

Forced only by me behind a cell wall

I seem to remember a day before I was bored

When? I’m not sure I can track the install 


Was it when I dreamed myself in a space suit 

maybe when I loved to draw 

No it can’t have been that long before 

I couldn't have been so small

Im a senior in high school, when writing this I thought about my life now compared to how I imagine it when I was younger and more care free.
