"Beautiful things never ask for attention"


R.I.P to my youth, 

who’s beauty and value I overlooked

never knew its worth until it was gone.

Bury me with my arms crossed

And bury me fast

Locked in a closed casket 

Unable to scream

Leaving me to ask,

 “Where'd all the time go?”

In a blink of an eye you were

gone. 

Its one of the inescapable

yet everyone goes through 

yet I am scared to leave you behind

I wear you like a tattoo

so I can never forget you


Too much in a rush to grow up,

 I never saw you

I never stopped to enjoy being my age.

And now I rewatch my favorite Disney movies and love everything pink to get the same rush I did as a little girl. 


R.I.P my youth, you'll be missed.

Now I say goodbye to one life and welcome a new,

adulthood.
