Growing older

Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.

It first starts with your first few steps ,

then a few sleepless nights of bawling your eyes out ,

then it goes to your first bite ,

before you even know it, you're at elementary school ,

and then you finally get into middle school ,

which gives you second thoughts about many things ,

which leads you to doubt yourself,

in the meantime of thinking of these things you get into high school ,

and in high school, you resume having second thoughts,

and begin to feel depressed ,

then you get friends who help you along the way ,

and you get into university and get a job ,

and after a while you see the true faces of your so-called friends ,

and begin to doubt yourself again ,

and then you find someone and settle down ,

which leads to retiring at a old age ,

and that's when you finally realize that you finally feel joy ,

without those who bring you down.
