Oh youthful innocence Why did you leave me so fast. I feel like adolescence Was ****** upon me Like a straight jacket No room for mistakes. Scoliosis from book bags Full of homework Sagging with responsibility. Late nights spent with red eyes And tissue boxes Letting stress seep out through tears But only when no one is watching I am a pillar of strength. I yearn for days of Lego towers Barbie dolls and dress up. Why can't I stay in neverland Responsibilities perpetually To far off in the distance To concern me. I want to not care so bad But that is not an option. So I press on and move forward. I keep on growing up And resenting it.

Growing up
Oh youthful innocence Why did you leave me so fast. I feel like adolescence Was ****** upon me Like a straight jacket No room for mistakes. Scoliosis from book bags Full of homework Sagging with responsibility. Late nights spent with red eyes And tissue boxes Letting stress seep out through tears But only when no one is watching I am a pillar of strength. I yearn for days of Lego towers Barbie dolls and dress up. Why can't I stay in neverland Responsibilities perpetually To far off in the distance To concern me. I want to not care so bad But that is not an option. So I press on and move forward. I keep on growing up And resenting it.
