Why are people in such a hurry to move their lives to the next step? If they keep at this pace then before they know it there won't be any more steps to take.
Growing Pains
You stared up at the sun
As you drifted away,
But you didn't know how far out
You had gone
Or where you were going.
Who is going to pick you up
If you push me down?
Where would you be
Without me?
You would surely be pulled under
By the force of the current
Moving beneath us.
How could you resist
Such an unusual thing?
A complicated undertow
Full of wondrous vice
And calculated misery.
We have only been independent
For a short while now,
Why are you in such a hurry to go?
Couldn't we enjoy this silly little place
For just a while longer?
Aren't we still kids
At heart?
We are only free to avoid responsibility
For so long,
What would we gain by running towards it?
I am just not ready to bear the weight of it all,
But please don't leave me behind.
What is so great about growing up anyway?
