My mind is blank, but the space is filled.
It's funny how we all think our greatest dreams will be fulfilled.
Dreams get crushed, feelings get hurt.
When did we become such pushover?
Remember that game Red Rover, Red Rover?
As children we thought for the best, as teens all we want
To do is close our eyes and rest.
It's silly how some of us can come so undone,
before their lives have really begun.
Star gazing,  Sun blazing, where did our childhoods go?
What happened to creating forts in the snow.
Children get older not realizing their youth is spent.
Wanting an apartment but not wanting the rent.
Kids are getting older, the days are moving on.
I don't think the really know their childhoods are gone.
