Growing Up

I feel like I'm living in an isolated island with nothing around but fear and mystery I feel like a child stuck in an adults body I look around and i see memories that makes me smile I close my eyes And i wonder why should i grow up is it a must Why cant i live life as it was Where my only worries was not getting my favorite chocolate ice cream Where all I wanted was to hang my drawings in the refrigerator and playing restaurant with my imaginary friend I remember those days Where pica boo makes me laugh Climbing mountains of pillows, and making towers of books was the goal of the day I miss those days Where I used to fall asleep to my favorite lullaby dream of rainbows and chasing butterfly Where I only cry over a lollipop that I cant have I want to go back to those days Where I used to think everything was mine, friends forever is true and there’s nothing such as death Where my toughest times is saying goodbye to my teddy bear Where being responsible means not drawing at the walls What happened to the days? Where tooth fairies and wishing under a shooting star was real Where a mirror is a portal to another universe What happened to the years? Where my words don’t hurt Where everyone was here to stay Where love was innocent and true Where fathers was the only super hero Where mothers cuddle made all pain disappear Just yesterday I was waiting for my fifth birthday Today I’m waiting for my 20th birthday
