Why do we rush to grow up
To taste the wine of adulthood,
To be heard and understood
And tuck our childish games away.
Why do we rush to grow up
And lose naiveté
The joy of life that's so pure
In exchange for conversations so cliche.
Why do we rush to grow up
And indulge on champagne and liquor,
When we could keep drawing
Purple chalk flowers
And sprinkle them with glitter,
Rain will wash away
It all in due time anyway.
