Wishes of the Past

People my age always say "we're getting old", "i feel old".

I don't see it that way. For one reason, there are older people than us. Those people are living their lives out way more than us who are 20-38 and whatnot. I even catch older people living the life as if they were still in their younger 20's.

I still feel as if im in that 17- 23 age bracket.... mostly due to my lack of "HighSchool-hood."
I never really got to experience what everyone had, from parties, popularity, trouble, cars, basically a middle-classed teen would get to experience.

I was raised through very hard times. Times you'd only hear about through your elders. Yeah, maybe I was one of that 35 percentile who smoked and drank since I was 12, but that was money tethered from the other homies just to have that nicotine and alcohol fix.

All I can say is that I wish I was more fortunate, got into more school activities, and been a normal in-crowd-er.
