Don’t You Grow Up, My Child!

The morning sun, gleaming through your eyes

The cool breeze, caressing your gentle smile.

The world stands before you, waiting to be explored

Your curious innocent mind starts wandering,

through the mysteries that sprawl in its woods.

***

 

Your desires tempt you,

towards this mystic illusion

But, don’t you grow up my child,

for this world is just an immense void of seclusion.

***

 

This endless utopia you seem to relish,

is on the brink of its closure

Make sure you exploit it,

before you find yourself surrounded by greedy ambitions and fuckin’ hypocrites.

***

You’re whining and throwing tantrums, I see,

to abscond, from your cradle full of toys and flee.

You’re aching to walk on your own,

with all the strength in your tender bones.

You’re bored crawling on the floor

But, don’t you grow up my child,

you’ll eventually walk out through the front door,

to explore this world full of ambiguous fallacies,

And, I won’t be able to see you anymore…
