Grow(n) Up

I don’t want to grow up

Because I don’t want to pay taxes

Because I want someone to take care of me

Because I’m a little bit scared.

 

I am grown up

Because adults talk to me

Differently now

Because no one tucks me in at night.

 

I don’t want to grow up

Because what if I mess up

Because what if it’s really hard

Because I’m still scared.

 

I am grown up

Because I don’t want to grow up.

    Who are we?

  • Faded peace

    The red truck blue truck cap

    Bright blue, not pretty

    Like dancing eyes no

    This is down to business blue eyes hardened

    After too many people said no

    After too many yesses didn’t work out
