Adulthood
Adulthood is painful
Like standing at the base of a skyscraping mountain
With no carabiner or rope
Doing nothing sprouts nothing
So, you must climb the mountain
Even when you don't want to
Or don’t have the supplies to
So, what do you do?
You freebase
Or you try to use the resources around you
Making the best out of the situation
And you start climbing
And climbing
Falling along the way
Some fall in the beginning
Some fall near the end
Adulthood is painful
But we all try our best
Sometimes it's not enough
Some fall again
But we get back up
To continue climbing
Adulthood is painful
But the peak is near
