Don't Grow Up
When you’re 3 you have not a care in the world.
No school, no drama, no judgment.
When you’re 7 life seems to revolve around
Toys and playdates with your first best friend.
When you’re 12, times change.
You no longer seem to care about
Toys and playdates.
You start to care about
Grades, what you wear, who you’re friends with, and a social life.
When you’re 16, it feels like adulthood is
Creeping up on you.
You now have to worry about
Grades, college, and learning to be independent.
You wish you were 3 again.
