Petals Of A Child

A poem about childhood and growing up.

There goes my childhood, it flew away.

It’s just like a shooting star, it’s there, and then it’s gone away.

At one point on vacation, but now it’s nearly gone forever.

Floating away like a message in a bottle,

I didn’t want to enter adulthood full throttle.

Flying away like a sparrow.

Childhood is given, it’s not meant to be borrowed.

Once I was a little princess,

But now I’m becoming a Queen.

Growing up is so tough,

Damn, people are mean.

They don’t realize when you’ve had it rough,

They don’t think, before they say those nasty things.

Dressing up trunk replaced by my new style.

My bunk bed replaced by a twin.

My Barbie collection is for sale online.

My teddy bear replaced by one given to me by a boy.

No more toys in my toy box,

They’ve all been given away.

Only a few of my stuffies will stay.

No longer do Daddy’s fingers I intertwine,

Now I hold the hand of a boy who is ’’ mine.’’

Once I thought boys were weird,

I thought my Dad was the only one I’d ever have.

But that thought was replaced by a boy who has a special place in my heart,

I should have known that from the start.

I like it. lolz And childhood does leave pretty swiftly. As adulthood sneaks up on you too. :P lolz I don't want to grow up sometimes. Good write though. :)
