Just a quick poem I wrote.

So in english we have to wright a poem about becoming an adult and growing up so this is what I came up with...

Growing Up

What’s in my future?
Will I be a good person?
Will I be able to remember,
What it’s like to be 11?

You see one day you got a blindfold on,
Seeing life through a prism,
Then it falls off,
And now your stuck in a prison.

You always wanted to grow,
Oh so long ago.
Your dreams flew in flocks,
And now they’re trapped in a box.

Once you grow up you begin to see life differently,
Your expected to give childhood up willfully.
They want you to drink your coffee,
And act like a zombie.

But I don’t want to change,
I still want to be able to laugh at something stupid,
And let my creativity have free range,
I will not allow who I am to be concluded.

I’ll hold onto the goofy grin that stretches to my ears,
And thank the ones who’ve stuck around all these years,
All the people who I’ve crossed paths with,
Have created a person I’m happy with.

I want to stay caring,
And to find a good pairing,
They say you can’t have this in all actuality
Looks like i’m going have to work to make my wants reality

I don’t know where I’m heading,
But what I do know I’m expecting,
To hold onto the heart of gold
From before I got old.

I don't know why I uploaded this, I guess because it was sorta fun but let me know if you like it or not.
