age is just a number

but I can feel my youth slipping away

remember the days

the days of lunchboxes

                multiplication

                recess

the days of birthday parties

                spelling tests

                disney channel

the days when the future was too far off

the days when anything was possible

now are the days

the days of salad

                expectations

                sleepless nights

the days of college applications

                greasy hair

                fake smiles

the days where the past is the better time

the days where the possibilities end
