I wish I was older.
I wish I was wise.
I wish I was grown up.
I wish I was older.
A few years older would be nice.
A few years I would like.
I would pay my taxes.
I would have a job.
I might have a family.
Probably a cat or two.
I know as I grow older,
Things will start to change.
I know I'm not a grown up.
I am still aging.
Sometimes I feel young
Others I feel old.
I am just a teenager.
I have much to learn.
As I get older
I realize my mistake.
I look back at the childhood
I just had to waste.
I wanted to be older.
So I could live alone.
Now I just want my mother.
For her to hold me in her arms
And tell me it's okay.
I don't want to pay taxes.
I don't want to be alone.
I miss the fights
My sister and I had.
I wish I was younger.
