The Good Ol Times

I hear the stomping up above me 
The continuous roars of the people 
Who want to just say goodbye
To the people that look into your eyes
Always looking away from the hardships you must face
What you must realize is that this is not a race

Life is simply a beautiful thing
That takes these moments and puts them on freeze
Ever since you were held when you were a wee little thing
Here you stand now though going off to prom
Not even thinking of all the wrong.

As you grow into your own adult
You bring some tears to your old folks 

Throughout your life you disobey
But then you realize that is not okay
All the times they tell you that you have done wrong
You just ignore it like a bad song

What we must know is where 
Did the good ol days go

Thank you, even though I'm only 14 (8th grade) I understand life, from many different perspectives. I am considered to be very mature. With my writing, I can feel how life may set me by. It takes me on a ride to be expecting the unexpected. I love writing it is my passion as this might just prove it.
