I want to stay like this forever

April 22, 2024

I don’t want to grow up

I don’t want to watch my parents grow up anymore than they already have

I don’t want to leave my house where all the memories I’ve made stay

I don’t want to get a job

I don’t want the next year to come

I don’t want the next day to come

I don’t want the next minute to come

I just want to stay this way forever 

In the comfort of my young heart and my mother’s arms 

In the bed that I’ve dreamed so many dreams 

Surrounded by all my stuffed animals 

Safe and Sound.

Been having such a hard time coming to terms with the fact that the future is coming, I hate that I’m growing up and I don’t know how to deal with it so I thought writing about it would help.
