Boredom of Life

I'm bored of the mundane
I'm bored of the redundancy
I'm bored of the cage from age
I'm bored of the no responsibilities

"I wish I could go back to the good old days"
I have heard so many adults say this
Why, all we have is the competition
Who bullied more or who had their first kiss

Yes, we have no responsibilities
But we also have no control
We are at the mercy of life
And the caused pain takes its toll

I want to grow up already
I want to pay bills and go for my life goals
I want to be able to take care of myself
I want to go out and meet some souls

I want to go follow my dreams
I want to get a job and get payed
I love the idea of independence
I'm tired of waiting for the next birthday

I've shared all those sentiments and now I'm older I wish I had stayed a kid a bit longer. I've been there and I get this poem. Good work
