I Wish Time Would Stop


Time goes by so fast I wish it would stop I know I’m meant to be leaving soon But it doesn’t mean that I want to It saddens me to think about moving on When inside I feel like I’m not ready to leave Your whole life you prepare for this moment Going off to college and living the dream But no one tells about how hard it is To leave your family and go off by your self I want to discover new experiences on my own But I’m terrified of actually going of any doing so I’ve grown so used to being here everyday That my heart hurts just thinking about it being another way I understand that this is a part of growing up But am I really ready to do just that What if I fail and it doesn’t work out? So many negative thoughts run through my head But in the end I understand that I have to do what’s best I have to make the right decisions Because there are no do overs I can only hope for the best But I wish so badly that time would just stop At least so I can comprehend it all And give myself time to adjust I’m growing up in more ways than one And it’s almost time to begin a new chapter of my life But I only wish for time to just stop
