When everything's gotten hectic,
and think back on how life used to be,
before all the drama and stress.
Think back on jumping in leaves,
snowball fights,
picking flowers,
and running around in your swimsuit.
Think back on being with friends,
carefree, jumping rope, swinging,
climbing trees, waterballoon fights,
sledding, giggling, having no regrets.
Think back before boys, relationships,
mean girls, self-conscienceness,
to when you could play with everyone,
cuz they wouldn't judge you.
Think back on cooties, and sleepovers, the only time to wear make-up
on bedtime being 8 o'clock, and friends down the street
not across the country or world, and
remember those times.
I think back on cheerleading in the summer,
raking leaves and jumping in in the fall,
snow ball fights with my brothers in the winter,
and picking flowers for my mom in the spring.
I think back on all of this,
and think growing up,
isn't necessarily a good thing.
