my parents have always told me
that i had no time to waste right now
i have to work
and work
and work
and work.
to get into college
if i ever want to do anything with my life.
they said i'd have all the time to waste
and to be free
when i'm old.what my parents don't know,
is this is all the time we have right now.
this is our childhood and soon
it will flash so fast before our eyes,
and when we are old we will reminisce on those times,
begging to go back.
when we are old,
we tend to forget
and when we forget
the imagination,
slowly ceases to trickle
and when that happens,
we then finally and truly and utterly
realize that we are no longer kids
children
or even teenagers-
and that all the time we should've used
doing what we wanted,
embracing the magic that there is-
was spent doing what our parents wanted.
