Growing Up

Growing up By Asianae Aikey Life is a struggle each and every Growing up and going astray Lost in a world of confusion Where people can be bisexual, lesbian and gay And because of that they get turned away Growing up is rough Because even after that it’s still tough Nothing will ever go exactly the way you want Sometimes things won’t actually be what you thought you saw or heard People lie People will hurt you Don’t care about your feelings Won’t kiss your boo boo when you scrape your knee Leave you behind After they tell you that they care about you That you make them feel wanted And then they just stop talking to you And it all becomes clear Clear that they never cared Even when you were friends They just didn’t give a damn Everyone has to grow up some day This is my day I finally realized that I am naive That i fall too easily The lesson I learned is that not everybody will care you want them to I grew up a little today and i am growing up with each and everyday
