I will never age as I grow
I refuse.
Not for you, not for mother.
Not even for my cat of which I'd give everything to
I will never age as I grow
Despite the blemishes that show my adolescence
Despite the wrinkles and white hair that will soon infiltrate my appearance
I will never age as I grow
No matter who's birthday it is.
I will sleep for hours
And wake up when I need to
Not because the average person of my age requires that amount.
I will randomly scream or cry or jump or shout
When I fully desire it
I will always say yes to a cookie
I will always have an interest to my interests
No matter how out dated it is
No matter how lame it is
I am a child
I shall remain a child
For in childhood
Free will is key
And the only key
To hell maturity
To hell fitting in
To hell changing myself
So that I may be one of those things
Who don't know how to cope
Who don't know how to love
Who don't know how to care
And who knows how to cope, love, and care
Than a wise child them self.
I will never age as I grow
Height shall not defy me this time
I will never age as I grow
I will always have a smile on
I will always have happiness wherever I go
I will take it with me
And hand it to those who are willing to be helped
And I will always smile on the things that deserve my childish passion.
And there will be no such thing as no hope
I will ignore all the unnecessary troubles
That take my loved ones who chose to grow up
And trouble them, bringing such a grief.
I will never age as I grow
Where I stand there will be no chains
And inside I shall slam shut on those tears
Slam shut on the anger
Slam shut on my external parts
And be the remaining free.

I really don't like the idea of becoming an adult. Yes, I'm immature. I'd like to stay that way. >
