Limbo

Limbo

Oh how I miss the days of just lounging in the sun
I remember thinking then that more were yet to come
I didn’t appreciate being young and worry free
Now its really clear what the time has done to me
Often I think back to those summers long since passed
And I cringe when I think of the nothing I’ve amassed
Still standing in the place I stood so many years ago
Now hoping, praying, dreaming that back there I could go
How I hate being stuck here at this awkward age
Too young for a career, too old to sit and play
Forced now into limbo, running forward but looking back
Dreaming of the future while craving for the past
