At That Age…

+7

At age 3…
You were told not to take a cookie
and went into a huge crying fit.
But now it’s the childhood you miss,
wishing you didn’t make a big deal, and just waited for the meal.
At age 6…
You wanted a goldfish just for kicks
and you were told you can’t have it.
After a while your screaming quit
cause now that you got your wish
you didn’t want the fish.

At age 10…
You needed to know about everything even about heaven.
You asked a lot of ridiculous questions
and the answer was always the same.
It was to you, just a game,
with all the questions in your head,
but one day you turned red.
Now you realize that you should have made the best and put your questions to rest.

At age 15…
You are serene
until your boyfriend breaks your heart
like a pop-tart.
You thought he was sweet
but he ended up sour,
and it makes you cy hour after hour.

The *Future*…
is nowhere near clear,
we can’t however surrender cause of our fears.
Who knows when someone will say no,
it may make you angry but it could also make your heart grow.
So, when someone says “no”…
try to learn from it and use your own mind to guess
It may be a good thing so smile and say “no, I say yes”
