Growing Pains


Growing is hard, 

Growing is tough,

Growing requires all your hope & love,

 

It's not easy, 

and will hurt alote,

You need to go through,

With all your knowledge,

and thought,

 

It's rarely easy,

to let go, 

But you must let go, 

in order to grow,

 

You must grow up,

You must be tough,

to cross the line of childhood handcuffs,

 

When you grow up, 

What do you want to be?

a Doctor, an author, maybe even an actor,

 

Who knows it's your choice,

To be whatever you want to be,

It's your choice to break the chains and be free
