As Time Passes By

Life without phones was simple then.

Wish I could go back, be a child again .

You could talk aloud without a weird look,

But now its odd, makes you look like a crook.

It was fun to go on a walk with your friends,

But the scrolling on TikTok never seems to end.

Life without phones was simple then,

If we don’t go back, this generation will come to an end.

Coming of Age

Getting older, more responsibilities.

Drowning in homework, while they still assign more work.

Home life, school life- it's looking like there's no in-between.

Remember when we were little and getting older was a dream?

Who could blame us, we didn’t see this coming.

Now all I can hear is the school bell drumming.
