Growing Up
Its funny how when you were younger,
you wished to be older so much. But
when you finally grow up you want
to be young again. You never got
seriously hurt when you were
younger, you didn't know pain,
sorrow or sadness. You were always
taken care of no matter what. Your
parents were always there to help you
when you fell or someone was mean
to you. You had friends that you thought
you would keep forever and nothing
could ever go wrong. Then one day you
wake up and realize it’s not a game
anymore and you have to be responsible
for you actions and take care of yourself.
You have to make your own choices
whether they are right or wrong. The friends
you thought you would have forever are
suddenly gone and you are alone to
fight the world. You think back to when
you were growing up and wonder
where it all went and where you went wrong.
But there are no answers and no simple solutions.
You have to grin and bear it. It is said that it
only gets better but here I am 19 years old
waiting for everything to get better but it
doesn't seem to want to
