memories of childhood
spring up in my mind
that creates this hollow feeling
deep insideit reminds me
of happier times—
times where i was
carefree and full of smilesthese times
that i bury deep in my mind
because they remind me
of times i'll never get backthe remind me
that i'm closer to my end
and there's no going back
no matter how much i wish
that time would freezethere's only going forward from here
and that terrifies me more than it should
