The Loss Of Youth
It’s a slow burn, as you walk into reality. Into the fact that life just isnt what it seems. The gut punch that sends away all of the dreams you kept so sacred as a kid. You hope and try to bid that life will go the way you want. But life just taunts. When you’re young and free, all you see are sunshine and rainbows. Not the shitty way the wind blows, trying to rip you every which way. Praying all the bad will go away. You try to claw your way out of the mess but every flaw makes you regress. The daily changing trends that rip you apart and makes it mark in your brain. When being a kid is no longer playing outside but watching your little siblings while your parents are glossy eyed. All the times your parents said “im sorry hun.”Guess growing up wasn’t all that fun.
