It's Really Different When You Grow Up

Knowing things as a child is one thing
Growing up is however different
I remember friends
I remember having dreams
I remember having nightmares
I remember wanting to be a kid forever
And times when I could not wait to grow up, because I did not want to have a bedtime anymore
There were days when I picked to be twenty-one, sixteen, thirteen, or twelve  forever
I would watch others who were older than me and admire the perks of their age
It’s really different when you grow up
You just remember
Remember wanting to be twelve, thirteen, sixteen, and twenty-one 
I like those memories there things I hold dear to myself
