(no subject)
it seems like only yesterday, that bike riding, ninja turtles, and grape kool aid were day to day
but it's been so many years, and a few things have changed, and i'm fortunate that i'm still here
i used to think that graduation, starting college, finding love, growing up, getting jobs, getting married, and having kids
was something that i would never do, and honestly, i've havent started, but i see it all around me, and its scary and i dont want to face the truth
that maybe one day i'll grow up and be a man
and it makes me think of that beach boys song
because i can only be young once
and i'd hate to think that i could get that wrong
so what do i do with my time left, because i'm certainly not getting younger
by any standards, but i'm hardly growing older, definitely not growing up
so what am i, who am i, and who will i become (who will i become)
will i be a good man, good to those i meet, good to those i know (nineteen, twenty)
will i live my dreams, the ones from childhood, the ones from today, the ones yet to come (twenty-one)
will i have a full life, with love all around, with nothing to want (twenty-two, twenty-three)
but what if i fall short, what if i dont make it, what can i fall back on, and who will be there for me
and who will be there for you
