Growing Up.


Growing up.

Something we can't wait to do 

But when we are grown 

It's something we wish would just slow down 

Growing up.

When you learn that after every storm there isn't a rainbow

But when we are grown 

We realize that it's just taking us a little while longer to bloom

Growing up.

When you can feel someones pain just by looking at them 

While understanding there is nothing you can do for them

Growing up.

Why do we have to grow up?
