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.
There are days when I fall asleep wondering about the line between stupid and brave.
Brave
Is a hero rushing into battle
Ready to fight
For their passion
Stupid
Is a hero rushing into battle
The trees talk,
you know?
They talk and if you listened
you would know,
they whisper
like kindergarteners
who can't stand straight in lines
but they can jump straight
Young Writers Project has helped me discover myself and learn more about what it means to be a person.
