16 years old but I couldn’t even tell.
Time has been secretly stealing our youth away. We spend long nights and short days worrying about our future that seems so distant yet approaching at a rapid speed. We spend our nights stressing and our days in a daze from the continuous work load. We set aside a specific time frame devoted to studying. School has brainwashed us ,with the help of our parents, that education comes first. Without a proper education, we are unable to become successful. And so we work. We do what we are assigned and turn it in on time. But as we grow older, we are able to see that worry lines have been engraved in our foreheads. Frown lines runs deep around our mouths. It is impossible to capture back our youth. To claim what is rightfully ours. But what we can avoid is focusing all our energy trying to strategize on how to become the straight A student. Just do work. Study. And in between, be a kid.
