Aging
When we are little kids all we do is want to grow up
Adults ask us what we want to be we say adults

When were old all we want to do is be young
Kids ask us what we want to be and we say dead

Why is that all we want to do is grow up so fast
The years fly by
Soon your 18 looking in the mirror like I can't believe what I have become I was gonna enjoy high school make lasting memories
Everyone always does

Then we take that step out of our parents doors
Knowing this is what we have always wanted
But we're scared
We have lost so many friends already
We have cried enough nights to sleep
To know that growing old is a curse

You dream of that day being 18 and seeing what it brings
Independence
Voting
Your so excited that you rush through life to get there

Why is it so hyped
More rules
Have to pay your own bills
Living in a new city or state
Crying your self to sleep cause you miss your mom and dad
Cause you miss hanging with your bestfriends  every second of everyday

Then we finally get to the end of our life and we look back at those pictures
Those joyful days
Without a care in the world

But now that your old you have laid your parents to rest
Seen twice as many friends leave your side
Still cry yourself to sleep at night

But those pictures you burned them so you don't have to remember that you were once a kid
Because a kid has everything without knowing it and you have nothing while knowing it
The tables have turned so much
You wanted to be old you got your wish but now that your there you realize it was hyped up and it's a curse

Now you can't wait to die
To see those friends
those family members
that you have lost
