High
Take a second to look back
On the best moment of your life
When people thought you were the best
And no one could ever stop you ever again
You thought you were the king of the world and that nothing will ever change

Just take a moment and think
Where did it all go into the drink
Don’t you miss being on top of the world
With all the money power sex appeal and the girls
Not even 18

You started an empire
You ain’t even old enough to drink a beer still getting tippsy of the soda pop
This is for the kids who thought they were bigger
But were not better
Were still just kids who’s problems are small
Against the rest of the world

I wanted to write a poem about how as kids we think the world is never changing and it seems like childhood last forever
