What ever happened ,
To being 16 and carefree?
Days where we strive to be more than we are?
When we yearn to be independent
And look forward to rule free days.
Where has my youth gone,
And how can I get it back?
Here I am,
Just as I wished,
Independent,
Yet ridden with responsibilities.
Rule free?
What a dream!
Life has rules at every corner,
And though I wish I could bypass them,
Its an impossibility?
How I yearn for my youth
And the ability to rely on someone besides myself.
Long gone are my days of 16 and carefree,
Reality has checked in,
And I wish I to check out,
Yet surrender is a must,
So out I come,
My youth has gone?
