Fifteen

by Casey Warner

 

Today I’m fifteen

Yesterday I was thirteen

Tomorrow I’ll be seventeen

 

Time goes on

It’s almost cruel

Taking our lives

one day at a time

It’s hard to believe

that every new day

we come closer to the end

 

At fifteen

we want to skip time

but when we get older

we can’t press pause

or slow down

 

Life is not a game

You can’t restart

can’t win
pause

cheat

or play on easy

 

Life is a challenge

not a game

You can’t quit

We must press on

Life is a challenge

when you are fifteen
