High School Do Over

I couldn’t wait to get older, for it all to be over.Always planning the future, and missing out on the present.Now that I’m here, I wish I could have a do over. If these were the best days of my life, why does it feel like a bunch of knifes? I never thought I was as good as the rest.Everything I did, I did as a test.All I cared about was the pressure to try.I feel like I missed out and want to cry. They day these are the best days of your lives, I think they are all lies.  I wish I wouldn’t have cared what other people thought.Now I know my happiness can’t be bought. I wish I had those reckless nights.Now I know everything would’ve been alright.  I will I’ll hold onto the few memories I already made, becuase I know they will soon fade. I couldn’t wait to get older. I wish I could do it over.
