Description
EDIT: It has been brought to my attention by a commenter that the 'randomly placed apostrophes' were throwing off the flow.
So I removed em. THERE WILL BE NO PUNCUATION. This will be a continueing trend throughout the rest of my poetry. I've seen the light and old habits die hard.

Poem about people acting older than they are, or wanting to be older, not taking the time to enjoy themselves while they're what they are. =]

I love this poem so much and it is really true.Though sometimes the sad thing is, some kids get their innocence ripped away from them, and that could be on so many different ways. Why should people judge them without knowing that? This fact just lets me enjoy my youth. c:
and again, <3 this poem.

I used to want to grow up, but now I think all ages have their bright side.
I wouldn't be back to childhood because I was so unsure of everything, even though it was awesome.
Teenage, falling in love and kiss for the first time, oh, it was a whole new world to me, even though all of this was tough, we had college admission exams, pressure everywhere and lots of tears too.
Now, being on college, I hate having so much to study before I can finally start working, but the friends become better and there was no better year than the freshman's year!
I'm sure I'll have loads of fun seeing us all marrying and having children, becoming someone in life, meanwhile we are obviously sad for getting "not so fit"
Present time is always awesome!

Too, too true. Being old isn't as fun as being a kid, and there are bigger consequences for being irresponible. But what kid believes that?
P.S.:
...."randomly placed apostrophes"? Having trouble with commas is pretty common; I personally tend to Capitalize random words for no reason, but it's either a conjoined word or not. Meh, "don't" and "You're" commonly lose thier apostrophes. "We d" is a little confusing; I read it okay, though.

This reminds me of a song... "When You Were Young" by The Killers...

I'm sure glad that, as a kid, I didn't aspire to grow up to often.

Exactly how I feel. I can't imagine wanting to grow up!! I only have one year of high school left, and the thought of having to move out and go to college and be on my own makes me so sad!
I keep looking at all the pre-teens and kids who want phones and make-up and boyfriends/girlfriends and watch R-rated movies and I just think "NOOOOO! You're like eleven, enjoy playing with dolls and stuff before you're considered too old!" I didn't get my own phone until high school, didn't have my first kiss until seventeen, and have never smoked/drank/done drugs, and I don't care!

Very nice! My mother always seems to bring up that point when I say, 'I wish I were older'.
Bravo!

I love this poem!
This a message that I keep close to my heart, and try to advise to several people, but my intentions were in vain. D:

Its really awesome! But dont trow out the punctuation!! Its so important for awesome poetry, like the caesura in the comma on the second line helps denote a change in attitude from nostalgic to positive! I like the way its placed graphically, too. Other than being only literature, its also graphical! <3

Great job rhyming <3 Its a very nice poem, it seems the only thing kids want these days is to grow up and move out :/ But then looking back they never were able to enjoy their chidhood because they we're thinking of being older.

i totally agree, my mom always tells me to act like an adult but i always think why act like an adult when i'm a kid?
i wish i could live my life in youth and happiness with friends,but sadly i don't have any and i'm only 15 but my mom wants me to pick out a college already *sigh*

So true! I've been thinking the exact same thing. Thanks for making this!

this is really sweet and true! <3 and most of the rhymes are really good, especially since a lot of time rhymes can sound really forced... so good job with that! (though in the first stanza, the rhyme is a little strange. i think it's just the use of the word anyhow?)
but all of these poems of yours are really sweet. (:

This is...amazing.
I love the structure of it; it reminds me of a time when i was younger and i didn't know what punctuation was.
I think this message is very relevant in today's day and age, when young kids just want to be older, dress older, act older...it's sad to see so many wasting away their youth.
I for one never desire to grow up; maybe in personaliy, but never in spirit
Thank you for your lovely poetry

this is very sweet and VERY true! I hate when people I know try to act older than they are or grow up too fast. enjoy your youth while you can, because when you truly are older you're going to regret not living life to the fullest when you were young.

I totally agree. I am about to turn 18 and I feel like I was one of the few people that really lived their childhood like a child. I appreciate that my family kept me pretty sheltered and I didn't feel like I just had to give into peer pressure.

I can totally agree with this. I must be the only 15 year old I know that doesn't want to move out of their parents house because they're afraid of losing their innocence. xD

I think I was that weird kid....that didn't really want to grow up and just enjoyed their childhood. C:
I'm still like that....I REALLY don't want to grow up. :C

I read the discussion that's going on here that's going on about teenagers wanting to grow up fast. Just to let you know, not all teens do. I'm 14 (that makes me a teenager, right?) and I just take each day as it comes, like the poem says. I really don't care about growing up fast or not growing up at all. I can really act like a child sometimes and just enjoy the most childish things, but I think I can be surprisingly adult about things, too.
I figured that while I'm this age, I might as well still act however the way I want, for the sole reason I can. I don't know if I'll still be able to be as childish as I sometimes am when I get older. And I do enjoy it, so why shouldn't I? It's fun acting like a child!
And I really dislike people who just assume that all teens are useless and lazy and are all childish and all that negative stuff. Those people don't know what they're talking about yet shout out their opinions all over the internet and in real life. They should really think about how adult they act about the subject.
Neither being adult or childish is bad. To me, being adult means that when you see a problem or discussion, you want to know both sides of the subject. You don't go running around saying stuff about it when you don't know anything about it. Being an adult means that you are willing to take responsibility for your actions. It means that you think things through before you do or say them.
Being childish, I think, is just enjoying. For a moment, not to worry about a problem and just turning it into play. And I think that's something that we all need. Because if we can only worry about things, how can we ever think outside the box and really create something, may it be a solution or art?
When you say someone's childish you can also mean they're just really stubborn and don't want to listen to solutions or help. But I don't think that's childish. I think that's just someone being really stubborn and not wanting to listen to solutions or help. Not childish. Childish is something that's really good and none of us can afford to miss.
Please tell me I did NOT just write a huge-ass post about growing up. Why did I do this? WHY?
