Short #10: "We're growing up too fast"

Once upon a time, we were all children of the dark. We were the ones who needed taking care of
The ones with suicidal minds But time keeps on going And we keep on growing. It's going too fast. We're growing up too fast.
Once upon a time, we never thought we'll be taking care of anyone
We never thought we'll be still young. We're buried with this burden, and we used to think we were the burdens

But there are thoughtless people out there. Only thinking of themselves. We trudge in the mud, and they sit in thrones of gold. It's unfair for sure
But who else will carry this weight? The problem with us is that we care too much. We grow up to have that thought planted in our minds. We're growing up way too fast. Who knows when we turn to ash and dust?

The scary thing about time is that it keeps going and you never know when it'll stop. It's the only thing we can't control. We can't turn it back and we can't move it forward. We're all stuck in one instant. The present is what you have to live for. The past you either learn from or completely forget. The future is something we can never know and only put hopes on. Hopes that it won't as shitty as our present.

Time keeps us running. We run and run until we die. We never stop until we get tired and take our last breath. Time keeps us growing. In the middle we feel like it's getting faster and so we grow faster. And it's scary. We wonder if we'll be stuck in the present which might sound like a nightmare. The second worse nightmare is being held up to the past (and we all know how that turned out). But having pure confidence about the future is hell, because we don't know what kind of disappointment we're about to face.

We have to be wise with our decisions. Because we never stop growing. We're always growing up too fast.
