Ending

My leavers ball is today o.o
Nearly time
to close the book
mark the page
for when I want 
a second look



Saying goodbye 
to this time
and embracing,
preparing
to face the next step.



Growing up
older,
certainly
wiser
maybe
maturer,
not so sure. 


I suppose 
we'll dance
our cares away.

When I Was Your Age

Think I mentioned my idea for this a few posts ago? I got it yesterday =]
But not writing a poem about it because the seems silly xD 

When I was your age
I wasn't like that, right? 
I was older when I did that
and that 
most definitely that
Or maybe they're not the ones
growing up too quickly
I am.

And as the technology increases
so does the ageing process
leaving us reeling 
and trying 
to keep a firm grasp 
on our own reality
and look back fondly
on the fantasy 
of when we were that age.

Pass On the Luggage of Growing Up





The age of innocence 
has gone
and what's coming next
it feels, almost wrong


I'll be passed responsibility
and let go of recklessness 
and end up trudging 
under its weight 


Not so much the worries of age
but the worries
of what comes
as I accumulate more of it
and what I have to give up.
