Grow Up

A Poem by Follan

I want to grow up,
I want to see the world,
The world is still undiscovered ,
..
I don't want to grow up,
The world is demonic ,
It doesn't need me,
It is already discovered ,
Eating us,devouring us
Grown ups lie,cheat and kill,
I don't want to grow up!
......
Mutual feelings ,
Growing up,
Leaving behind the Wonderland ,
Leaving behind careless days,
Here's to growing up,
Becoming a new child in a suit of life,
Just grow up...

This is the one I liked. The good and bad sides of growing up.
If you're still youngish under 20 maybe that a turmoil, but the key line and the most obscure one is
''Here's to growing up,
Becoming a new child in a suit of life,''
Pretty good as a puzzling phrase to sum it up at the end.

So an adult is a new child - relatively naive to the world still - in a suit - with all life ahead.. but here's to it anyway whisky in hand - down the hatch - same chances as anyone else - a tiny turtle running down the seashore with hungry gulls swooping ahead - something like that eh?
Tricky one.
Anyway its a good read
