I wrote this about being scared to grow up. I know I have time but it's still scary.

I'm watching my youth slip away from me.
It's flashing before my eyes.
I don't want to grow up.
But at 15,
It's hard to imagine what my life will be like at 20.
I wish I was 5 again.
I wish I could feel the happiness and carefreeness of not having any responsibilities.
Just one more time.
I just wanna be okay like I was at 5.
But at 15 it's hard to even see,
A future.
