“I want to grow up”

I want to grow up Relish what you have Relish what you have I don’t care about what I have I only care about what I don’t have

My parents are allowed to drive Allowed to spend money whenever And wherever. Imagine all the toys All the fun No bedtime

Honk honk vroom vroom in my car My car groaning from the speed Fast, faster, fastest Significant superb speed is surreal Smack, my money on the counter “More candy please”

I wish Only in my dreams. Like Hypnos I wish I could control my parents’ dreams Sway them Let me drive Give me money

Adults say enjoy it while you can What am I enjoying? Waiting to be like them I want what they have

Freedom
