Through a Kid's Eyes (Poetry)

All I want to do is grow up

I will never once again say that

I love being a little kid

I remember thinking

The future is full of freedom

The misleading thing they all say is that

You will miss the good old days

Being older is so much better

I think it is wrong to believe

Silly things like Santa Claus

I am missing

All the fun that life has to offer

I am wishing I could discover

The bright future ahead of me

Sometimes it’s hard to see

The perks of being a kid

I wish I could have

Everything adults do

It’s hard to handle

Waiting for liberty

I spent so much time

Claiming my desire to grow up

Was it the right thing to do?

Through My Eyes
