21 going on to childhood

by coverd in darkness   Dec 3, 2008


21 now ... do i have to be an adult?
What's expected of me now?
Who am i meant to become now I'm 21?

Illness you don't know of,
Maybe that makes me immature,
As i sit watching Pokemon,
Drawing cartoons things that aren't real life,
Is that acceptable or is it wrong?
Are all the teddy bears meant to go away?
Are bubbles not meant to fascinate me?
Am i not meant to believe that fairy tales come true?

21 now why should i be treated differently,
After all shouldn't i be me,
Do the things i love and be proud,
For I'm being true to myself,
Isn't that the real key,
Why can't you see jewellery's not me?
Disney, Care-Bears etc is,
It's the life i want to live.

21 now let things stay the same,
Actually take me back to the good old days,
Where life was OK even though not good,
Anything is better than being 21 now,
Watch me as i fall to the ground,
If you try to change me,
You'll lose me,
For i may be 21 but my heart is like a child's,
Still needs care and love,
Still so fragile and young,
Trying to have the childhood i never had,
Now I'm 21 i don't care what you say,
Never will i change,
I am me 21 with the heart of a child.
