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. =]

It's very true. A lot of people are taking their youths for granted, and the joy they had when they were youg.
But these days people are getting and acting younger than they were in the past, since much of their responsibilities went to the older generations.

I loved this, very inspiring and the rhymes and rythm are great.
In fact I'm in the group of people who don't want to grow up any faster than it's absolutely necessary.

I.KNOW.RIGHT ! Im in middle school and the kids there act like their adults , which is untrue , because adults wouldnt be so immature and go and date like every day a new boyfriend . they claim theyre "growing up" and having "emotions" , but I know they only date to cause drama and look cool and mature . do adults do that ? I warn them , when you really become an adult itll be pretty hard finding TRUE love .
and yeah ... people going all they way . in 8th grade .
I remember my dad telling me that in his childhood he and his friends at my age went out and caught dragonflies ... had fun ... played outside :/

I really like your poems and how you show them visually. You're a really good writer.
I like this one especially because it is so true and I know people that could benefit from living in the moment and not trying to be older than they actually are.

YES! A million times YES!
I'm not happy at all at how fast these kids want to grow up! They don't want to take the time to be KIDS. 
I have two little sisters (13 and 14) and I fear for them a lot. But I know they aren't stupid like most.
But these kids always have boyfriends after boyfriends and some of them having sex and even kids before they graduate high school. Some even before high school! Smoking, drinking, drugs and partying... It's so sad...
I always wish to be a kid again and that's probably the reason I'm a 21 year old who doesn't go to college or have a job and still lives at home even though I know I need to grow up now. I'm just scared.
In the end, there's no way in hell I'll give up my childish heart, even though eventually I'll have to act grown up when I have this firm grip on my courage to be a grown up. (If that makes any sense. haha

Who ever said we had to "grow up" when we grow up? My question is; why can't we still be children at heart even though our minds have matured? So what if we still like childish things?!
That's a beauty that I hold dearly to every day...
Great poem, things like this always make me feel more alive than ever!

UUGHH I AGREE. SO. MUCH. Somehow I find myself surrounded with people at school who only want to be older, act older and be so grown up! Dating and drinking and all that stuff when we're only 15!!! AAHHH! I don't want to do that! I. AM. A. WHIPPERSNAPPER. I. TELL. YOU! and I. WILL. ENJOY. IT!
Sometimes people want me to get 'hooked up' or whatever, but I don't really WANT to yet! And I think that one day I'll be so heartachey over all of my relationships and I'll miss the days when I had never been in love and I never felt that kind of sadness before. And I'll at least know I savoured the days!!! (because I dooo!! )

This is perfect for the stressed-out world we live in. People should slow down before they realise that they've missed their lives while planning ahead.

i'm one of the youngest students in my batch and i'm slightly proud of that since a year from now i'm graduating college at 19
if i could stop time from making me older. i would. i'd like to achieve more things before i become 20. so at least i didn't waste my youth wishing i could be older so i could be better.
i'm young and i already regret a lot of things
do i don't wan't to get any older and add more things to regret on my list...
well done on this one short concise and great word play and rhyme~

You have to understand that some people can't be all young and free. They don't have a choice. They have to be the grown up for those around them. It's sad, but it's true.

Cant say i dont like the poem, but i believe in being young at heart, and in that aspect we never really grow up. I keep my younger self right next to me, i hold his hand and we switch places, and i see everything that used to be... Experiencing true nostalgia as if it were a movie.

I'm thankful for myself, becouse I do not want to grow up at all. I like my childish character even if Im 18 now. But I'm trying to keep all childish things for the longest possisble time.
Thanks for the author for this childish and amazing job (:

Ah, I love this poem!
If there's one thing I've learned as I've gotten older, it's that you need to stay young at heart and enjoy each and every day. X3
This was a really great bit of verse, I love how the words flow--it's simple and not cluttered. I also love your aesthetic design: the words emboldened by splashes of color, the font, and how you ended with a little pink image. (I think I'll have to read some of your other poems!
