The days I could live in peace
My hectic life was a mere slice of reality
School a representation of unhappiness
When in reality it was a time of growing and friendship
We didn't have to worry about bills or adult problems
All we had to do was go with the flow
Allowing the river of social priority to take us through our peak of youth
Sadly I never rode the river
Staying on the bank I watched as people loved, failed, strived, and lived their life to the fullest
But me, I was scared of every bad possibilty not believing good things could come out of my youth
I skipped dances and school wide events
Never talked to my childhood crush
Only stayed stagnant watching my high school youth slip by
Now my days of frolicking are over
The cruel world awaits me
My only regret is not living my high school life to the fullest
My only worthwhile wish is for the next person like me not to make the same mistake
