Kid Or Adult

We're only kids

But we need to be

As mature as adults

We're little kids

It's not safe

But we're basically an adult

So we can have adult responsibilities

We can't stay up with friends

But we can if we're watching our siblings

Being their mother or father

We get the downsides of being kids

The downsides of being an adult

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

    As Rapunzel

    I've gotten pretty good

    At pretending

    Some nights

    Red puffy eyes

    But I go to school

    With a smile on my face

    And hope no one notices

    That a bit of light
