Shut up and Grow up


 

We all were one of them

We all wanted to grow up

but not me 

Grow up more like Shut up

We grow up and keep secrets

are friends

are family

are self

Secrets can kill or GET US LOCKED AWAY

what just because were seen as crazy

We wish we could have seen it

We wish we could have helped

but no weere forced to shut up

and grow up
