You're an adult now
They tell me
Time to work
And earn
And get burned
By society
Becaues that's your role now
As an adult
And it sneaks up on you
Mugging your youth
And to be young again
You gotta get old
Or end up useless
TWenty-three and half-way dead?
Soon to be part of one of the rest
I never liked toy stores
But dammit
I don't wanna grow up either.
