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
