past by

when i was young i used to think,
that gowing old was something only in my dreams,
that it would never happen to me.
yet every morning i open my eyes,
i'm aonther year older, another day wiser.
where has the time gone, where am i now?
who is this person that i have become?
the fun and the games have all faded away.
it's all about school, work, and making a living.
but how can you live a life when it just bast you by?
when i went to bed i was just but a child,
yet when i opend my eyes i find
that i'm now an adult.
so when i blow out these candles,
and make my eighteenth birthday wish.
i'll think of the childhood that just past me by.

ummm.. this made me very sad.. this is how I fell too :(
Life is such a toy (sigh)
the poem could be improved though, grammatically.
Though the thought is a very strong one.
