Growing up?

Everyday life is full of people telling you why you can't do things and why you should make your goals more obtainable and "grow up" this is just how I feel about it

Growing up's a myth

I never put my toys away...

I still sing and dance

I still do art & crafts

And I still do flips & cartwheels

Just now...

My toys are instruments

All my singing gets recording

My arts & crafts are worth money

And my flips and tricks are done with music

I went from being called a child

To being called Talented!

I actually like this a lot XD it kind of struck a chord with me, because I have a few people like that in my life who think I'm unrealistic or immature or whatever. This poem sounds like something I'd like to say to them lol.

I loved the structure of the poem; the way you began by shamelessly admitting to still doing "childish" things in the first half of it before showing how they now have become more sophisticated and recognized talents was very effective. The whole tone of the poem is defiant and proud. And beyond all that, arts and crafts and singing and all of thr other childish talents become symbols for whatever things people pursue despite the objections of dismissive elders and other rly serious people. Nice job

I for one hope that no-one ever really grows up...But then that's because I write mainly for the chils in everyone. This is very good

This is so true in so many ways! There's that truth in myth where we don't really grow up, we just change our ways some and give it a different name. If it works for you, it'll definitely work for others :). amazing inspiration here, great work!
