Oh, to be a grownup and answer to nobody. To never have to go to school or be in bed by 8:30. To eat ice cream for every meal and every day be my birthday... Oh, to be a grownup and answer to nobody.
Oh, to be a teenager and be respected by society. To be a teenager and be respected by society. To be allowed to date and have my first kiss. To be old enough to drive and play varsity. To have my opinions matter and not be labeled "little." Oh, to be a teenager and be respected by society.
Oh, to be 19 and finally be free. To have a car and privileges and do whatever I please. to be out of this school, this town, this state, to be out on my own. To not worry of parents or teachers or coaches. To never have to work another minimum-wage job and finally follow my dreams. Oh, to be 18 and finally be free.
Oh, to be a kid again when everything was easy. When "working" meant on weekends, "school" was more than student loans, and bills were paid by Mom and Daddy. to be regret-less and responsibility-free. to have time to spend with friends and self. To think only of myself for once, not a care in the world. To never understand "hate" or "war," to be a small-town kid where murder is just TV. To not be fearful and worried. To be young and ache-less; to be spontaneous and crazy. Oh, to be a kid again, when everything was easy.
