Villanelle on Growing Up

by noah-a-baker

I really wish I was a kid again, But, it's really shocking, because I've waited so long to grow up. I was so wrong to believe that adulthood was a great place to go hiking. I really wish I was a kid again. However, all my goals I've yet to achieve Make these unknown trails so very enticing, because I've waited so long to grow up. Even though I was incredibly naive, If I said I wouldn't go back, even for a day, I'd be lying. I really wish I was a kid again. Time is a thug in a band of thieves, Who always stole, but I was never crying, because I've waited so long to grow up. Aging is a quilt some will never want to weave, But I want to make more than one. Honestly, I really wish I was a kid again, because I've waited so long to grow up.

first attempt at a villanelle, but I've found as I've gotten older, like most, I wish I could go back to a more simple time. However, I'm excited to get older, as new opportunities become available and I'm able to chase my aspirations and goals.
