POEM: “Don’t Grow Up” 📝

11.13.17 📝

Don’t grow up

Don’t grow up if it means that something in you dies

That spark, that flame, that flicker in your eyes

That part of you that sets your soul on fire

That burns within you, that screams to be heard

That creative intensity and eagerness to be misunderstood

That yearning for hope, love, and what is thought to be lost

That passion that whimsical utterance of life in your laugh

That peace caught between the ripples of your smile

Don’t grow up

Don’t grow up if it means something in you dies
