Literary: Growing Pains

Reminiscing
Then, I never ran out of friendly faces
Of helping hands in dark places
Familiar words from familiar voices
Guidance when I’m out of choices

Longing
Now, I long for the comforts of my old bed
A distant memory inside my head
I wish to turn back time instead
to go back and revisit the life I led

Aching
But my bones have stretched and grown
My body, larger than the clothes I’ve known
My muscles ache, they’re tough like stone
But this pain, I deal with all alone

Changing
Starkly different a couple years back
Endless laughter, never have I lacked
Prepared for knees to bruise and bones to crack
My vision seemingly darkened, completely turned black

Adapting
I can no longer turn my back and flee
For the future awaits, though I failed to foresee
The path I’m headed, full of uncertainty
I've decided… I'll continue my journey with nothing but glee

Hoping
I hope I won’t run out of friendly faces
Of helping hands in dark places
Familiar words from familiar voices
Guidance when I’m out of choices
