I'm scared
I need my security blanket
I need my Teddy bear
I want to be a child again
I long to be so carefree
I want to worry about coloring
I want to fear the dark 
I want to run to my parent's bed for bad dream
I wish I could have such innocence
I can't go back 
I don't want to stay where I'm at 
I'm being pushed forward
I'm scared
They're making me grow up
I'm scared

This is just about growing up, a coming of age poem.
