Confessions of a Diagnosed Grown-up


Before, the strongest love felt was for the boy at recess

Now, love grew up and became patient for a man in the future

Before, money magically appeared under the pillow

Now, money grew up and lives in a bank

Before, growing up was the ultimate dream

Now, growing up is the ultimate obstacle


 

Life before was easy but not beneficial

Life now is beneficial but not easy

 

Now, a grown up grows from obstacles

Now, a grown up achieves new dreams

Now, a grown up continues to grow
