What if
I wanted to be an adult
But an adult with some human qualities
I don't want to go to work
If I woke up unable to breath, speak or walk
Where's the problem?
If you cried because you can't stand it anymore
Because you've had a tough day
Or because you've suddenly missed all the people that left

If you think you're a strong human being
because you can control your life, your feelings and your problems
Then you're everything but human
Listen to me
I don't want to transform myself into a mechanical process where all the organs of a human being are forgotten

Adulthood is an illusion just like love
Being an adult will not make you braver
You still have all the feelings and the fears of your childhood
But you know how to hide them
