Growing Up Ain't Easy

June 19, 2019

Growing up hasn't been easy

The journey has been tough

These last four years have been busy

The road has been rough

There were days full of tears

There were days full of laughter

There were days full of glory

And days full of disaster

Like a road with twists and turns and no sign to say

Sometimes things really just aren't gonna go your way

To take the bitter pill without water to help it go down

And it seems like everyone is wearing a perpetual frown

Then one day it hits you like a slap on the back of your head

A voice that tells you, "The real world is waiting, get out of your bed!"

A realization that time keeps it moving

It doesn't wait for anyone so stop saying, and start doing

Because one thing I learned growing up and it's true

Don't wait to start living life because life won't wait for you.
