6 going on 16
Make-up,
cell phones,
boyfriends,
According to our generation,
You should get these when you're 6.
But according to the last century,
we should have them when we turn 16.
We were a lot more sensible back then.
Why would you want to be an adult in the first place?
You're going to be one for 80 more years.
Be a kid while you can.
It's funny,
how we want to be an adult so early in our lives,
But when we see how hard life really is,
And how cruel the real world can be,
We want to go back and not have
make-up,
cell phones,
or
boyfriends,
And try to get back what was lost,
while trying to earn our innocence, that only a 6 year old can have.
