Kid Or Adult

We're only kids

But we need to be

As mature as adults

Being a kid is fun

When you're not told to act like an adult

Being an adult is nice

When you're not being told you're a little kid

We're kids

Who have to act like

Adults

    The way she talks

    She's like the piece of hair

    That is never in the right place

    Why does she even wear that

    Why does she look like that

    Looking at her
