Growing Up
no one ever taught him how to be a grown up
all he is now a puppet, controlled by dangerous thoughts
that tells him to run towards hill and jump into the valley
freedom is far beyond his reach
he believe his older version was too strong
he had dreams, wishes and knew how to cling with hope
but now everything is rusted
he breathe poisonous air
from his dreams in flames
hope is a devil disguised as a beauty
no one ever told him how scary it gets
he doesn't wish to grow up
