  • I'm gonna be dumping random thangents, thoughts in my mind I just have to let out. I hope no one minds, but thoughts are poetry right?

And Just Then...It Hit Me

When I was younger,
I used to always think,
How cool adults were,
And how fast I wanted to grow up.
How much more awesome I'd be,
If I was older and free.

But then puberty hit,
And it was Hell,
Then I saw boobs, and thought, 
Oh well.
Lots of nights alone,
Not even a cell phone,
But I couldn't wait to grow up.

And then I was older
It was finally time.
Out on my own,
Not given a dime
Off to college,
And then work,
Things were hard but I was tough,
Even when it got real rough.

Then I saw it,
On the horizon,
I had so much to to,
And so little time to do it.
I was scared and it was dark.
And just then...it hit me.

I'm not ready for this.
I'm not ready for the real world,
With it's real afflictions
And real troubles.
I don't want to grow up.
I want to be a kid again.

I see, interesting, yeah, just sometimes things get a little heavy and I'm like "remember when it was easier? yeah, I miss those days"

Brings back memories of times gone by. Watched my children go through some of the same things and thought "If they only KNEW." Enjoyable poem. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much. :D

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
