Maturity



I have been told i’m mature my whole life
But what is maturity in a young a mind
We still can’t cross adult lines
But we can’t rise into the same world
Because we are only kids
Our parents can’t deal with us
Our parents want rid of us
And no matter what we can’t go back and be kids again
We can’t be ten
When the world around us forced us to grow up
We’re a lost pup
A outcast
In my own class
I hate my maturity
It only ruins me.
