Back to a Time

I wish I could go back to a time
When they didn't put so much pressure,
When I didn't feel like I could not measure
Up to the people who came before me,
Up to the people who've done more than me

I wish time would move more slowly
So that some days I'd feel less lowly,
But oh how quickly time does pass
And oh how short a moment does last

There may be so much I wish to do
But oh, oh, oh so very few
Will actually come to fruition,
With the cost of tuition
Weighing me down from the start,
A painful weight on the heart

And oh how quickly college approaches,
And still the infernal time encroaches
On the years of youth existent
Teenage angst and energy unspent,
Adulthood years seem so far,
Yet here I am with my own first car

School has left me so unprepared,
That when I am done I feel so scared
Of a life I don't know how to live,
Through the mess of adulthood I must sieve

The world surrounding is forever changing
And accordingly lives are rearranging
Oh how much I miss back when,
Time moved so much slower then.
