From This to That
From This to That
By Jeremy Onsinyo
With a concentrated reminiscent thought
You remember your faintest memories from childhood
It could be your third birthday, or a supposed near death experience
But when you look back, you realize how much you’ve grown
Then with even less effort
You begin to recall memories from a sooner time a simpler time
It could be your best friend from kindergarten or your first spanking
But when you look back you realize how much you’ve grown
Then you fast-forward time
You begin to relive your early days of adolescence and blatant immaturity
It could when your first to care about your appearance or when you realize your voice dropped
But still, when you look back, you realize how much you’ve grown
But time has now caught up to you
You start to really think about your future near and far
It could be “what am I going to eat tomorrow, or what can i accomplish with this degree”
But when you look ahead, you realize how much more you still need to grow
