Growing Up

I don't want to grow up, Not today. The thought of tomorrow, Just eats me away. Responsibilities are hovering up, Like any fire in the forest. My mind has been acting just like a mess, And I can't make myself at rest. Is this the life, Which would continue further? Cause I don't want to grieve, Any after. Guess, I would have to, Learn to clean up my mess. Straighten up a little, And think for the best. There are many wonders, Left undiscovered, The doors are closed, Waiting to be rediscovered. Life is hard, Truly. But what's the fun, In easy? 13/9/2022

Great write for many your age and older ,I use to could not wait to get old now being older I am like what was I thinking, and this new generation of kids have the world introduced to them at the fingertips at such a young age . They are learning how bad this world is younger and younger, writing helps one understand and seek our surroundings for strength, with God dwelling within that peace and joy will remain as a precious child, love ya take care

Hi Komal :) I've heard say that life is a rollercoaster, with lots of ups and downs, but for a young person like you I suggest that you enjoy the ride and deal with any hurdles when they arise. As your poem ending states, there is no fun in easy! ~ Best regards // paul
