Welcome To the Adult World

Tired, Monday-Friday I have to stay up and wired, Though sleep is what my heart truly desires, Through my work I’ll continue to perspire, For there’s no way to go from here but higher. Welcome to the adult world, Where there’s no chill and all of your deepest fears begin to unfold, We’re all fighters and we’re bold, Bold to live in a world that is dark and cold, Through intentions and actions is how we as humans truly mold. Work, school, school then work, work then school, Having no break until the weekend is considered to me as just plain cruel, Saying I couldn’t wait to grow up when I was younger were the words of a fool, I thought growing up and being on my own would be so cool. I was wrong, so very wrong, And I hate to say it but my mumz was right all along, I’ve been wanting to grow up for so long, Now I regret it because all of my childhood is gone. Don’t get me wrong I do love being independent, But my days are no longer counted in minutes.
