Gripping that hallow space below your ribcage
Barefoot and wide-eyed the world rushes past you

You have become one of them

Gone are the days of endless play and carefree side-walk chalk covered pavement
Gone are the ice cream stains and the peanut butter on the corners of your mouth
Pig tales replaced by a sensible ponytail at the nape of your neck
The blue tongue from a raspberry lollipop replaced by a healthy green salad. Dressing on the side please

Yet you are hungry for freedom
Craving ignorance and bliss
It all disappeared in a moment

Welcome to world of adulthood
