Letting Go

I am under so much stress
It seems like my life is a total mess
I miss the life of no responsibility
Now the world seems to be full of hostility
I used to sit and relax
And now I have to face the facts
That what they say is true
And the matter makes me blue
That growing up really is tough
And until this I thought of it as a bluff
I wish there was an anti-aging cream for this
If I could only go back to my age of bliss
I miss my youth
And that is the truth
