TEEN YEARS There’s always a start and end to life. It’s just the first twelve to eighteen years that you realize it’s not as easy as you’d like it to be. TEEN YEARS. These years go by so fast, and you seem to learn so much in so little time. The important time. Just like the moon only takes a day to over-take the sun. Time flies by, but so much gets done. TEEN YEARS. Being a teenager, it is hard to understand how much responsibility you need later on in life when you’re so used to living without it. TEEN YEARS Mistakes are made, opportunities fade, ‘If you tried hard you could have got a good grade’. You don’t really know what you’ve got until it’s gone. So when it’s gone, you just move on TEEN YEARS. The pressure starts. The world seems to be getting bigger, you just feel lost, but at the same time it gets smaller, and you feel trapped. TEEN YEARS. You vividly see a hand stretched out in front of you, but then it slowly fades, and you realize things won’t be done for you, you’re the one that has to try.
