When I was younger, I wanted to grow older
I couldn't wait til I was taller
So I could finally ride the rollercoaster
Adults seemed like they were always right
Always the ones scolding, not putting up a fight
As if they had no problems and their burden was light
They had no projects & homeworks
No papers, theses & essays
No cramming, just relaxing
But as I grew older, I wanted to be younger
So I could get away from my boss
So all the paperworks would be lost
So I won't have to work just for so much cost
I miss my mom at night comforting me after a nightmare
I miss when we'd run around in underwear and no one would care
I miss eating grandma's cookies, and wishing I had more share
Those were the days with no responsibilities, full of carelessness
My biggest problem was choosing what color to use for my princess
Or what color I'd pick next for my braces
But growing up is inevitable
Just like how the sun rises and sets
Just like how we made careless mistakes
Just like how we had to learn the hard way
So while you're young, embrace it
Live every moment to the fullest
Make mistakes, take risks, never let an opportunity pass
Because life is too short for that
