Grown up views, dreams forgotten
I look up to the sky Remembering past dreams Wondering where the dreamer went Looking back to the past. Having lived and loved Sacrificed and gave everything to those who won my heart Now I look at this moment wondering what the hell I did. Sold my dreams for a broken kiss and a hundred thousand times Looking to the future,...

Grown Up
When you see a skunk that’s smelly, Hold your nose and hug your belly. When you see a grizzly bear, Picture him in underwear. When you see a sneaky spider, Offer him some apple cider. When you see a big old rat, Show it to the neighbor’s cat. When you see the dentist’s drill, You be strong and don’t get ill. When you see a...

Premium Member Grown up shades of grey
When we were children We are taught the difference between right and wrong. Everything seemed black or white, And relationships were strong. The children were respectful, And did as they were told If they were naughty Both parents would scold They told them to behave, Or they would be in strife The children usually obeyed Because they loved a peaceful life The life of children should be...

Grown Up
I was a ghost in your eyes someone to forget someone to leave behind someone to abort from your life someone to hurt someone to lie... I was a child in my eyes someone to love someone to like someone who needed you at night someone who deserved to be alive... I was just a number to this world someone to train someone to mold someone to break someone to fold someone who could make them gain more...

Knowing When You'Ve Grown Up
Here it is, The edge. The space below you is, Just is. Fall? You will not fall, You will float. You've found a peace within you. Here it is, The pledge. God's trace, bellow nuance. Toughness. Fall? Yes, you're falling. Not floating. You're bound to flee thin youth. Here it is, The edge. Change....

Premium Member Letter To Little Me From Grown Up Me
Dear Grown Up Me, do we still have monsters in the closet? Are there wiggle worms under the bed waiting to grab us? How old are we now? Will I be pretty when I grow up? Will I feel pretty? I am scared because no one saves me Every night there are creatures floating in and out I see them but my parents cannot When...

Premium Member Never To Have Grown Up Never To Have Grown Old
Nestled in each other embrace, They slow dance to a song that they'd heard So many times before, it always sets a spark. No more talk, just romance fire within. Standing so close looking in each other's eyes, Pouring their hearts under the tempo swirls. Falling in love again, as he spins her round And round, not to miss...
