Growing Up
Sometimes growing up
Is like the first day of school.
You aren't sure what to do,
You aren't sure who you are,
Or what you want
For lunch or for life.
The second day of school
Is like the day you're done growing.
You realize you did it wrong,
But you know who you are
And who your friends are,
And what you want
Though you didn't get it.
The second day,
You're content.
You found out what you want,
Who you are, what to do.
It really is a good day.
But still, what you wouldn't give
To take you knowledge, go back, and relive
That first day of school.
