A Child's Choice.

As a child

Everyone who was within my age range

Wanted to grow up really fast

So they can do the things they saw adults do

 

But I was different

I wanted to remain as a child

I did not want to grow up

To be what my parents were like

 

When my mother says she is fine

I know she is not

When my father says he will come

I know he will not

 

To my young mind

Adulthood was a lie

And adults tell lies

To prevent people from seeing the real them

 

And apart from my parents

The other adults I knew

Were people with scary faces who barely smiled

 

If you are not told to talk you must not

They do not let you voice your opinion

Because they are always right

 

These things scared me

I did not want to grow into a replica

Of the adults that I grew up with

 

I'm still growing

And I am still scared of adults

But I have made a promise

to my young self

That I will not grow up to be like them

So help me God

 

 

Thank you for your time.

 

My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.

 

Still me,

 

My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.
