Victoria Reome Poet Free verse

Grown Up

When I grow up
I'll still be growing up
is twenty-eight too grown up to still be growing up?
because I'm still growing up
I'm a grown up that's growing up while my little one grows up
maybe it's really grown up to keep growing up after you've grown up

my goodness dear self
all grown up, not grown up, half grown up, still growing up
slow down 
or slow up

but give growth a slow go
because growth grows slow
smile the while
while you grow
But self, 
where am I going while I'm growing only to keep growing?
