Growing Up
I refused to grow up
That started so long ago
A family which kept on growing
So many jobs came and went
And pains where pains shouldn’t be
But I never did grow up
Now I see people walking with canes
Forgetting what they were doing
They have the same silver tint as I do
And giving up their fave spicy foods
Then it hits me when I talk to them
We are the exact same ages
Some are even younger
I realize the one thing I never wanted to
I DID grow up and there was nothing I could do
