Growing Up
Growing up Oh what a burden it is To mask all emotion in all it’s rawness To pretend to be calm and mature at any given situation To not be able to cry to your hearts content Because hey grown ups seldom do vent Or should I say they’re not supposed to do that But beneath the layers of countless masks Lies a lil child who’s scared of tasks Not knowing what to do Not knowing how to be Fearing all judgement Succumbing to expectations Wondering if she’s even doing it right or can she do better And what exactly is the price for doing even better to the fullest of her might It’s now that I realize that The peak of adulthood Ain’t as astounding as it seemed as a child in childhood
