Growing Up

I remember being with you my whole life, we grew up together, always around one other. 

Sure we fought, and sometimes we'd never talk, but the same blood runs threw our veins, 

Proving our sibling love will always remain. 

 

But then we grew up... 

We grew apart when you left. Saying how it was for the best. 

You said, "No matter what we'll always be the children we were." 

But those words only left your lips because of the scene that was about to occur 

 

We said our goodbyes, and I bet you heard my cries.  

They were tears for the lose of my sibling, but I kept on living. 

To prove I could be strong, to prove that this was supposed to happen all along. 

 

We grew up all too fast, and now looking back I could just laugh.

It went by in the blink of an eye and now look at us, longing for it back, trying to find a way to back track.

Every now and then I see my childhood dangle in front of my face and all I want to do is hold onto it with an intense embrace. 

 

I just want it back, like it used to be, where we chased each other full of laughter and glee. 

But we can't regain what we lost, and we can't get back across... 

Everything seems like it happened so long ago. 

We grow up so fast and didn't even know. 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Sometimes I get so scared of growing up. Hearing all the things abults have to go through and how some of your best friends will go their separate ways. Having responsobilities thrown on top of you all the time. Being expected to do this or to do that...I can't take it...I HATE it...I can also see the good things about growing up...but everytime I think about it all these horrible thoughts and feeling flow into my mind and I feel like I'm sufficating with losing everyone I know...I can't take it...I don't even want the thoughts to come into my mind...I'm so scared to grow up...but I can't help it, all part of having a damn stupid life. -_-

everyone wants to go back in

everyone wants to go back in the past, for whatever reason. but i think maybe if we all just try to have a positive outlook of the future, if we try to work towards making a better future of ourselves, i don't think we'll feel so bad. maybe. maybe not. and if we have a negative look, we'll see everything for the worse. hmm. but sometimes seeing things for the worse prevents problems. so oddly enough i just came to the conclusion that maybe we should have a negative outlook. i think i messed this up somewhere.

That's kind of how I'm

That's kind of how I'm looking at it. I see the positive parts and the negative parts but so far negative kicking positives butt -_-

I know its part of life and all but I just wish that childhoods wouldn't go by so fast.

Lol it makes sence to me. >w<

I think everybody has had

I think everybody has had these moments. They pass, and with time you learn to not fight it anymore. Life is bittersweet, and so is love. Our conditioning plants seeds of fairytales and fantasy that I feel are very cruel, and can make growing up much worse than it has to be...but those things sell to parents who were raised dreaming too much and not having a good balance of hard cold reality in their upbringing. Just my own thoughts, and hopes you do not feel alone..because you are not. You are a very very talented and wonderful writer, too!  I admire your work extensively, and in fact, you are my favorite writer on here.

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
