The time has come to grow up.
Childhood: Lost


Innocence is forgotten
Wonder has walked away.
The monsters are gone,
and the shadows are all morphed out.
Bedtime is anytime.
Being carefree is just a memory.
The playgrounds aren't so big
and the castles have sunk from the sky.
The toys are packed or thrown out
and past dreams have floated away.
Young friendships have since passed
and family isn't so great.
Growing up is no longer a dream,
it's a reality.
