I’ve grown up so fast. Everything I knew as a child is gone. My pets, grade school friends, some family members. I’m looking into colleges, and applying for scholarships. I don’t want to grow up. I remember coming home from school and my mom making me hot chocolate with whipped cream as I did my homework. And it’s all coming to an abrupt end. I don’t want to go to college. I want to stay with my family. I’m not ready for life on my own, paying bills, and working 40 hours a week. Where has my adolescence gone? Because I want it back.. I’ve grown up too fast.
