Growing Up
Growing up can be a painful thing,
As we leave our childhood behind.
We learn to face the world head-on,
And leave our innocence far behind.
We leave behind the carefree days,
Of playing, laughing, and running wild.
Instead, we must face life head-on,
And learn to navigate as an adult.
The pain of growing up is real,
As we realize the world is not always kind.
We face rejection, heartbreak, and loss,
And learn to leave our childhood far behind.
