YOUTH

Youth has slipped away from us

Days wasted away with us

Our bodies try escaping us

But it's over all too soon

And no one ever knew us well

Life never went over well

We realise down the line

We don't get a second chance

I am about to turn 30.... I know 30 is not really old.... But I remember saying when I was a kid that I hoped I died before my 30th birthday... I never wanted to be THAT old...  Now I look in the mirror and I feel like high school was not that long ago.... in fact I don't feel any different... Just more weighted down by responsibility and though I may not be as wild and reckless as I once was...  I still feel that way.... still feel like climbing a water tower at three in the morning... or staying up all night on the phone with a boy I like :)  So now I take back what I said in my ignorant youth... Please no car crashes today and but maybe a bus by the time I'm forty?
