Too Fast

Folder: 
Society

Tiny hands pulled at fingers,

Trying to expedite growth.

I told her to not grow up

So fast that you forget

To be a child.



There’s no pleasure in aging,

As each year passes

I count the wrinkles added

And wonder how that is

Staring back at me

In the mirror.



Stay true to your years

Because you will look back

And discover you lost yourself

In the pursuit to mature

Quicker than nature intended.
