Courtney Young Poet I do not know?

Wondering Where It All Went

Sometimes I wonder back
To the school books in a stack
When I worried about education
And proper  articulation
What an easy life I had then
Yet look how long ago it's been
Since I played in the sand
And still held my  mom's hand
I feel myself pulling away
And beginning to go astray
I've become my own person
Or maybe it's a created diversion
I'm  boggled in the mind again
How long has it been
Since I sat  on a  swing set?
I used to be happy with  what I  would get
I'm unsatisfied with myself
I truelly  can't stand myself
I want  to be content with me 
But  I can no longer see the way  I used to see
My  child-like eyes have turned grey
And I've forgotten how to  play 
Eighteen and a heart of clay
Which is  molded more everyday
I am always  changing  faces
And taken to stranger  places
Where did my playhouse  go?
What is it that I am suppose  to know?
An adult's world;yet I am not
I can't make anything out of what I've got
Sometimes I wonder  back
To the school books in a stack
And wonder where  it all went.
