Once free

Do you remember when we were free?

We pranced around on the velvety grass

Dozed under the great birch tree

Enjoying the breeze as we did a little dance

Long ago, we were unbound

Without a care in the world

Together we visited playgrounds all around

On the roundabout we used to twirl!

But then we reminisced about those days

Staring down at our answer scripts in distaste

We once didn’t have to worry about 1000-word essays

Can’t help but feel it was such a waste

We thought adulthood meant we’d be free

But after growing up we could both safely say:

’Adulthood really isn’t my cup of tea

All I look forward to is my payday...′

But as the sun set “we” became “I”

Why hadn’t I talked more to you...

When did all my plans go awry

My sorrow and anguish grew and grew

-

‘grew and grew’

i wish we didn’t, though.

weren’t we supposed to stay young forever?
