Growing Up
Growing Up
Growing up is never easy
In fact it’s the hardest thing we’ll do
We learn how to respect others
And how to respect ourselves
We always do the best we can
And even then it may not seem like enough
We have to deal with disappointing others
Sadly it is often unavoidable
Everyone has expectations
Some more than others
Whether it’s to become a doctor
Or just have a simple job
Pressure can come from anyone
Parents, friends, or teachers
Get good grades, get a good job
They mean well but aren't always helpful
You can’t please everyone
That is just a fact of life
The main thing to remember
Is to follow your own path when growing up
