I grew up -my own poem

in #poetry8 years ago

I found joy and fun everywhere
Strolling through life without a care
Magic is what floated in my head
Constantly being visited by the monster under my bed

Castles and dungeons grew on our soil
And i was always the princes, to be treated royal
Chocolates and sweets made me feel so alive
Boy, it was much easier when i was five

And after a while I thought i was big
But through mountains of toys-I would still dig
Fairies and angels made my life great
I really wish i was still eight

I was old, or so I thought
I was superior in every argument i fought
Even though it's way back when
I still remember being ten

Seeing the real world, i was awake
Looking before every step i take
I thought I saw everything, but there is so much to be seen
Gee, not so long ago- i was thirteen

Now the fairies don't visit my window sill
The monster under my bed lies still
my only joy is my cellphone
So much has changed as i have grown

I only see me friends at school
Hanging out with family is no longer 'cool'
Now, i dont even dream
Why has time made me fourteen.
