I sit and stare at the dress up box
LIke i did when i was five
The innocence and magic created
When putting on those sparkly wings
Grabbing the wand too
I run round transformed into a flower fairy
Protecter of the flowers and gardens
I braid my hair with poseys of lavander blue
But i'm not five anymore

I attend high school
I am not the little innocent girl
I am scarred by the reality of this world
I hide behind a wall to stay safe
I have to act my age 
What was that again?
I may be fifteen nearly sixteen 
But i have an inner child
Trying to break out

Why can't no-one see?
That all i want to do is be 
Anything from the dress up box 
To hide the real me 
And become the carefree little girl
I will never be again in body
But in mind, i want to be her everyday
To not care about anything
To not worry about the future

Its scary how fast we all grow
Yesterday i was in yr 7 
Today i'm in yr 11 
How time flys by, without us knowing
I could have done so much than i did
So this is my pledge 
To live each day like a fifteen yr old
but in mind to live like 
The carefree five year old 
I always want to be

Time goes fast
Time doesnt stop
You live everyday 
You lose everyday
Live your life as if its your last
Live your life the way you cherish to
Don't let people stop you from being you
Don't lose sight of the child in you
Go on just for a day or two
Visit that little child you once were
And become her or him again
Then your'll see how life flys by!
