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
