• Let go child,
    Of your galactic halo
    Stop trying to nail this
    Solidly ambiguous jelly
    To the silver moon

    Come back child,
    In your purple beribboned chariot
    To your castle
    Upon this cloud
    Raise your red balloon

    Stop trying to fly child,
    You have yet to learn the land
    To run upon the water
    To swim through the sand
    Even just to learn your own feet

    Don’t hide child,
    From the darkness in your fear
    From the trauma in the closet
    Among the skeletons and eyes
    Misunderstanding in your dreams

    Don’t grow up child,
    Before you’ve picnicked with the elves
    Before you’ve sung with the mer

    Don’t grow up child,
    Before you’ve learned to be wild
    Before you’re smiled a true smile

    Don’t grow up child
