Growing up Proper

ive never grown up
not properly anyway
at least thats what evrybody tells me
im still a child
still treat the world
like a play place
still act like a five year old
before kindergarden
stamps out their creativity
you see
they dont approve
of me blowing bubbles
in my chocolate milk
or laughing
at things that arnt THAT funny
they say im being childish
that in the "real world"
they wont put up with it
its not Professional
to wear two different colord socks
or dance when a song comes on
or smile in that "silly way" of mine
that wont get me anywhere
the only way to make it to the top
is to stop eating fruity pebbles
and wearing sneakers with holes
dont talk unless im spoken to
do my homework
before its assigned
dont laugh
unless your otherwise instructed
dont talk too loud
dont be too quiet
always listen
dont be pushy
but always try and get to your goals
and if someone gets in your way
never push them out
just exspect to be looked down on
for not stepping on others to get ahead
so i havent grown up
i dont force my feet into shoes so pointy
they could be a lethal weapon
i dont eat oatmeal evry morning
i dance when i hear music
i play tag in the hallways
i laugh when someone tells a joke
i talk too loud
when im not suposed to
i speek my mind
and i politly ask someone to get out of my way
before i push them out
i am a little kid
i know
but maybe
the world was ment
to be a playground
