Growing Pains

Freaking out over a bit of rain Hating ourselves for being so plain Worrying about the weight we gain All of this is growing pains Craving attention Looking in the mirror Hating the reflection But as kids we got through growing pains Dealing with discrimenation Anxious to grow up But we have to be patient Do we have to go through growing pains Crying to shed all these tears Because we think that no one hears This cry for help We scream out loud Trying to make our parents proud We struggle to keep Our anger inside But it always comes out It just wont seem to hide We wish that we could Strike out of this game Till someone reminds This is another growing pain
