Poetry: Growing up

by Shirley Rozankowski

Created on: June 12, 2009

O please don't make me,

I really don't wanna,

Your only young once,

Isn't that the story?

Don't grow up too fast,

Live life while your young,

It wont happen again,

I don't wanna grow up!

O please don't make me,

I really don't wanna,

crawl out of bed,

and go to work.

Driving so fast,

So far and too long,

For far less pay,

Than I really deserve.

O please don't make me,

I really don't wanna,

30's the new 20,

I don't wanna grow up!

I wanna be young,

forever and ever,

and now I know,

It's already over!

Where did it go?

I sit and wonder,

how I got old,

and why I have wrinkles,

O please take me back,

to my younger days,

I don't Wanna grow up,

I wanna be younger!
