growing up

Metro Academic and Classical High School

In sunny light, we laugh among ourselves, 

The cafe is filled with students of all grades. 

A teacher claps as we put on our listening ears, 

Looking now, this memory fades. 

 

I used to know everybody’s names, 

Now, I only know a few. 

It’s crazy because we used to all play tag, 

But life changes; what can I do? 

 

Life then used to be so simple, 

The only problem was nap time. 

Little kids with round faces and fat cheeks, 

If only I could go back at the drop of a dime. 

 

I’m at the end of my childhood, 

I hope everything else in life is just as good.
