Growing Up -The Tough Pill to Swallow

May 1, 2019

Tears will fall,

voices begin to call.

-- "Are you alright?"

they say,

--"No, not today",

"BUT I WILL BE"

college debt,

car payment,

stress,

depression,

all just to learn one great big lesson.

Nothing is free,

work hard proudly.

Success will follow,

Growing up, a tough pill to swallow.
