Growing Up...

by Jesslyn   Jun 11, 2005


I don't remember when i grew out of toys
& grew into boys.
i don't know when i stopped playing with Barbies,
& started dreaming of car keys.

I don't remember why i don't watch Beauty & the Beast,
Or when I started watching cartoons the least.
I don't know when i stopped thinking school was fun,
or when i became the oldest one.

i don't remember when i stopped wearing stupid clothes
& started painting my toes.
I don't when i stopped using fake phones
& moved on to cell phones.

i don't know why i stopped playing outside all day,
and wanted things to go my way.
I don't know why i started trying to be good,
If i could.

i don't know when i started wearing make-up,
or when i decided to grow up,
I don't know when or why i stopped being a little kid,
But I did...

i would love it if you would rate and comment on this!
