Wait For Me

you're all growing up
and leaving me behind
I long for the carefree days
of childhood
where have they gone?
I don't want to grow up
but you're going to go
without me.

wait for me
don't laugh at me
don't call me peter pan
I just don't want to grow up
why are you in such a hurry?

even as a child
I didn't want to play "house"
I didn't want to be the mommy
I didn't want to pretend to be older
so now, standing on the brink of adulthood
I don't want to live "house"
I don't want to be the mommy
I don't want to be older
so stop pushing
stop shoving me into the unclean world
I don't want to grow up
but please
wait for me.

-I've never wanted to grow up, I think. And now, being fifteen, I get scared sometimes. I'm so resistant to change, I'm horrible. =D But someone did actually call me "Peter Pan" once. But I just don't want to grow up. It scares me.-
