Those Innocent Years

I lay down on the grass

Staring at the starlit sky

Everything was fake, fake as glass

I wasn't ready to say goodbye.

 

I could feel the change

Change that I'd always hated

Oh how I wanted to live in my teenage

Forever, till no particular date.

 

Nothing is more aging

Than the battle to stay young

Do not start engaging

Yourself in this struggle and be left unstrung.
