grown up...

it is strange you know
when you found out that the world is no longer the world you recognised
when you wake up and realise everything has changed
you don't watch cartoon
you don't eat sweet and candy
kfc or McD is no longer your favourite food
you don't play hide and seek
everything you used to do

you just don't do it anymore...

you want something more
something like Louis Vuitton and Ralph Lauren
or perhaps Bentley or Maseratti
you want to look like Brad Pitt
she wants to look like Jessica Alba
yes, we learn the true nature of being materialistic

Reality has taught you that if you live up what others expect of you
you will be loved
Experience told you that do not give money to beggar because they might use your money to call for a cab to go home
Instinct makes you believe that if you don't push yourself through the crowd and get in the train you will still need to do it when the next train comes

I understand, we're just fitting ourselves within the definition of 'adult'

...in the end you will look like an adult...
...but you don't look like yourself...
