To all the kids who want to "grow up": Please don't. Stay in your snow globe Where nothing can hurt you and everything is peaceful. Stop trying to break the glass that protects you. Everything you hear about the world is true, it's a horrible place where you have nothing and get blamed for everything. Just keep shaking the globe, Everything goes back to normal. Once you shatter the globe, It's over. There's no going back. You're no longer a kid. The slow moving snow drifting down to you Is replaced with lighting fast fireballs. Sure, there's a million times more freedom. But there is nothing protecting you from Others with the same right. Everything becomes a memory. The glass stuck in your feet, Is the only memory you can keep.

Childhood Snow globe
To all the kids who want to "grow up": Please don't. Stay in your snow globe Where nothing can hurt you and everything is peaceful. Stop trying to break the glass that protects you. Everything you hear about the world is true, it's a horrible place where you have nothing and get blamed for everything. Just keep shaking the globe, Everything goes back to normal. Once you shatter the globe, It's over. There's no going back. You're no longer a kid. The slow moving snow drifting down to you Is replaced with lighting fast fireballs. Sure, there's a million times more freedom. But there is nothing protecting you from Others with the same right. Everything becomes a memory. The glass stuck in your feet, Is the only memory you can keep.
