I thought by this time My life would be like a movie. Like what I saw on TV. Sneak out past 2, And enjoy life to the fullest. I’d be that popular girl, The one everyone tries to be. I’d study hard, Have many friends, And have my first kiss. I prayed for this time, Many nights ago, Where I would be happy Living a Teenage Lie.
Now I look back And see my reality. I’m drowning in stress While fantasizing my life As an Indie Coming of Age movie. I want to go back, To much happier years Where I never existed. They say we have so much time To decide who we want to be. We’re on ticking bomb Reaching for unachievable Childhood Dreams.
Can we please normalize and stop teaching kids this 'perfect' lifestyle. :D
