Growing up means following social rules,
making hard choices, and learning what works.
And adopting less tolerance for fools;
who continue to act like complete jerks.
Responsibility looms in the wings
as innocence begins to disappear.
And you no longer play with childish things;
or openly express feelings of fear.
Eager to play out your role on life's stage,
you disconnect with the wonders of youth.
And your endless world shrinks to fit your age;
trading tall tales for reality's truth.
When dreams aren't as naive as they once were,
childhood fantasies soon begin to blur.
