Reminiscing
When I was young
When everything was bright and fun
I loved being me
And living so free
School was the best place ever
Sometimes I wished I could stay forever
Learning was so engaging
Hanging with friends was so amazing
But now I’ve become a junior
And I’m scared to become a senior
I’m unsure of being me
And life just isn’t the way it used to be
School is so boring
Every day I dread going
To the place where I feel drained
Since all my friends are stained
In the drabby color of school
Where I just feel like a fool
I have no dreams
I have no plans
I have no passion
I have no vision
Sometimes it feels like I’m running in the dark
Grasping for an unknown light
I feel like giving up
But I’ve come too far
I can’t give up now
That I will not allow
I miss the old days
I hope time just stays
So that I don’t have to say
When I was young
When everything was bright and fun
I loved being me
And living so free

These days I think a lot about the past. I'm scared for what the future holds. 2019, 2020, and 2021 have been the worst years of my life.
