Growing Pains

Growing up doesn’t have an age

Growing up is seeing your mom hunched over

Throwing up and pulling out fallen hair 

Growing up is seeing doctors prick her hands 

Growing up is making difficult decisions, 

You don't want to make 

Growing up is giving the eulogy 

Growing up is learning from mistakes 

Growing up is realizing, she prepped you for this moment

Growing up, doesn’t have an age

In fact, it can happen in a blink of an eye

Growing up means to fall down time after time again 

Growing up means learning from every failure 

Growing up means to start a new 

Growing up, to me, is taking everything you’ve learned

And making the most of it
