Because I'M Ready To Grow Up

Because I'm Ready To Grow Up I have had enough Enough with the happy times I'm ready to take on the stress No more playground or bubbles baths please Enough with the piles and piles of mess I'm grown up now ready for change I had it with being a baby bird I don't want to be fed I don't want to cry I want to get out of the nest, spread my wings I want to take flight in the sky so high I had enough of the princess dresses Get rid of those Barbie dolls Throw away all those plastic high heels And bring on the teenage texting of Lols Don't u get it I've had enough I'm ready to grow up to break out of the shell I'm prepared to take on life's earthquakes Waiting for the day when I'll have stories to tell Princesses and fairies will never be real There is nothing in the world that's free You don't magically have a happy ending All i can be in life is me So I'm ready to grow up To escape the magical world For you have to earn whatever you want Nothing comes in a pink sparkly twirl So I've had enough Rip my childhood apart I'm happy to face the impending future drown the happy memories in my heart

Although I don't actually agree with the sentiment of this (I think growing up is a trap haha) I do love the way this is written and expressed. This is a really great piece. "Princesses and fairies will never be real There is nothing in the world that's free You don't magically have a happy ending All i can be in life is me" This is the best stanza, that I have read all day! Excellent work.
