I hate growing up

I hate growing up, I really do,

For all the things I said I'd never do,

I hate leaving parties late at night,

And losing things I once held tight.

I hate that I don't like the same things,

That once gave me joy,

I hate controlling my emotions now,

When before they ran free like a wild cow.

I thought that love was simple and pure,

And it would be forevermore,

But now I realize that's not the case,

And my heart, a fragile piece and replaceble.

I hate that life has become so hard,

The dreams I had feel so far,

I thought my path would be so bright,

But now my eyes lack the same sight.

I hate growing up, I really do,

But now it's time to face the truth,

I need to keep my life in control,

To make it beautiful and whole.
