Forgotten Youth

by April Hernandez - Aquarius

Wondering through this maze we call life
Time begins to slash at you like a knife
Remembering all the times you sat down to cry 
Realizing all the opportunities you let pass by
I'll never know why time goes so fast
Or why so many things don't stay in the past
Mistakes you've made look you straight in the eye
And it's no use trying to lie
Only you know the deeds you've done
When you were young and thought all was in fun
Now that your past has caught up with you
Tell me now, what will you do???

Reason for writing:

    My reason for this poem is because my past has finally 
caught up to me.
