Brain Goo: A Collection Of Poems

so this is growing up

Christmas didn't feel like Christmas
Neither did Halloween
The year has gone by far too fast
And I know what it means

So, this is growing up I guess
So, this is getting old
My life is just passing me by
I'm watching it unfold

I miss my imagination
When the sky talked to me
She told me I had much to do
So many things to see

She said I would grow ten feet tall
And dance among the trees
But life isn't like that at all
The sky lied to me

Instead I've grown to hate myself
And care what people think
Slowly wilting mental health
I likely need a shrink

Soon my knees will start to hurt
But not from growing pains
My teeth will fall out one by one
My hair will turn to gray

And as I'm sitting in my chair
Miserable and alone
I'll complain because its so unfair
How quickly I grew old
