So Fast.
Once we were little children,
flooding the compounds with our loud chatters,
fighting over unnecessary things,
making undue arguments,
yet coming as a team to play,
help and support ourselves.
We were once children,
careless about our appearances,
our outfits, our looks and voices,
just living well and staying happy
without burdens.
Acting as adults, but neglecting
the responsibilities attached to adulthood.
We were once children, ignorant of
how we eat, drink and where we sleep;
All bills were on our parents,
so we've got to worry about nothing,
but to run errands and do few chores,
for they were the only way to prove our responsibility.
But we've grown so fast,
some on a foolish track, some on the path to surviving vast,
some faraway from home,
some dead, never to be seen again.
Whichever way it is,
twenty children can never live for twenty years.
Everyone grows to choose suitable paths and lifestyles,
some will meet at the top,
some will see others at the top,
but I advise you to be one of those,
that will meet with others at the top.
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

Your post gives me the opportunity to tell you something about my life, as a child I was very, very fat, bullying did not wait and the saddest thing is that my own sister did it, I did not let them finish me, I dedicated myself to exercise, water sports and jogging, all associated with a diet, and now I am a slim man and I continue with a healthy lifestyle, this is my friend that you already know because I am not very close to football, I had no way to practice this sport my weight did not allow me.
A happy monday
Wow. That must have been hard growing up and I am sorry you went through that. I am glad it strengthened your determination and you took steps.
People change over time! This is the eternal reality.
Life happens to us all.
Yes my friend we have grown so fast. Life is too short.
Too short and so many things to do.
When we was children we was happy and now we are adult we are in pressure. When we was children we used pencil and eraser too but now we use pen only. There is no way to make a mistake and undo it.
Hahahaha. Lovely analogy.
Your writing are really amazing. I am a big fan of your writing. ❤️

Childhood memories are always the happiest moment in our life. I miss my childhood.
