Hello guys! Like I promise I’m posting again this
week! But this one is a little personal. Like I mentioned before I’m not a big
fan of sharing my poetry with people but I got a little inspired a decided to
give it another try with this one.
I want to share the story behind this one because it
is more personal that last one and I feel like a lot of people would identify
and understand. This poem was inspired by many ideas I had in my head that day:
First, I am reading The Catcher In The Rye by J.D.
Salinger and if you interpret like I do it talks a lot about growing up and the
transition from being a teenager to and adult, and this is what this poem is
about, growing up and being a grown up.
Second, the song called Ribs by Lorde had been stuck
in my head the past few months, and how she repeats, it drives you crazy getting old and I wanted to express that, I
wanted to express how I felt about growing up and all the changes we go
through.
The next reason is way more personal. I’ve going crazy
with school things and being just busy. If I’m not doing a project, I’m
learning how to drive, or figuring out college or how to live on my own. I
realized how little time I had for the thing I loved when I was younger. It is
like adults change so much because we don’t have enough time anymore. I
remember a few weeks my friend said: I don’t go on Tumblr anymore or read
anything about my favorite band. It suddenly hit me why, we are so busy with
growing up and grown-ups things we forget what we did when we were younger and
had more time.
Hope you like it and I can’t wait to share more poems
of mine with you J
Lots of love,
Pili
