Jealous of the Past

I miss the days 

When hitting your ankle 

With a scooter 

Was the world's worst pain 

 

I miss the days 

When saying the word 

Toilet 

Was a felony 

 

I miss the days 

When sneaking 

Cookie dough 

Was a sin 

 

I miss the days 

When 13 years 

Of school 

Felt like eternity 

 

Now 

 

These are the days

When everything

You do

Greatly matters

 

These are the days

When others 

Define you

Based on your appearance

 

These are the days

When you realize

That you don’t

Have much time

 

These are the days

When you look back

And discover

No matter how bad anything

Felt

You will always be 

jealous of the past
