Growing Pains
Sometimes I look at all the stuff I got and wonder
Maybe I’d be better off without it
I doubt it, but maybe things would be different
Maybe I wouldn’t be going through what I am now
I find myself at a loss of words
I’m trying to navigate through the twists and turns
I’m trying to stay young
“You got to get a job” says Mom
But I still want to do what I find fun
I don’t want to go to class
I don’t want to take lectures
I don’t want to be stuck indoors looking through windows at a world to explore
But it’s unattainable
For now at least
But it’s hard to wait
I just want to get out of the gates
Get going, see places, explore
But I’m stuck in a place I don’t want to be
Growing Pains
