Childish Things

I’m tired, I feel my eyes being closed but I force the shutters of my eyelids to stay open, The muscles of my eyes force the blinds to stay open because I know if I close them I’ll fall asleep, it’s odd that my brain does this. When I go to bed and try to sleep my brain acts like a rebellious child and decides to stay awake, and when I go to school my brain decides “yeah, now is a good time to sleep” and I have to fight the urge to sleep in class, like a mom refusing the urge to buy her kid a toy to make them stop screaming at the market, because she knows if she does get that toy, the child will never grow up. I guess in everyone of us we try to act a grown up but our brain holds onto these childish urges, and the only way to keep it in check is if you have the adult part of the brain grow and make sure the child is behaving and following rules, but no matter what you do the child of your brain won’t grow up. The adult can have stricter rules but no matter how strict the rules are your inner child will always act like 6 year old you. The 6 year old you who wants every cool toy they see, who wanted to eat Wendy’s everyday. It’s odd the way our brain works.
