Grown-Ish

There is no when or how to grow up,

There is no if I am grown or if I will be grown.

Being an adult is not as easy as it seems;

Even the adults wonder if this is all a dream.

 

Growing up takes time and patience.

Little girls wanna rush when they don't need to.

Baby girls growing up comes with a lot pain,

pain that will leave you crying every other day.

 

But you got through the storm even thou it was dreadful,

Just remember at the end of every storm is a rainbow that greets you.

Its okay to cry and to feel like your alone

After you cry just open your eyes and see all the people by your side.

 

When you fall dust yourself off and get back up.

Dont stay on the ground that aint where you belong.

You'll have help along the way no doubt about that,

But sometimes your on your own and you need to learn how.

 

Baby girl, you gotta understand that your not grown just yet.

A few more milestones and youll be where you wanna be.

It will be hard to pick and chose, 

but when the fog clears up you will see.

 

There is no when or how to grow up.

There is no if I am grown or if I will be grown.

Being an adult is not as easy as it seems,

Even the adults wonder if they are in a dream.

 

Growing up seemed like such a prize,

Till we realized there was no pot of gold on the other side.

Looking thru the eyes of an adult is surreal.

A hard knock life ain't what you bargained for.

 

Little girls wanna take flight,

Little girls will learn they won't fly on their first try.

When they fall get back up and try again,

If you wanna fly just remember it won't happen the first time.

 

All those years wishing I was an adult seemed like a dream.

Now I'm crying in the shower wishing I was a kid.

Growing up os hard and I have made my mistakes.

Now the past is the past and it has to stay that way.

 

Growing up is not about your age,

Growing up is about working thru your pain.

Growing up is about learning from your mistakes.

All the experience that you have endured it will be okay.

 

Being grown aint about getting older.

Remember age is nothing but a number.

Being an adult is about growin mentally 

Your mentality will change with you.

 

There is no when or how to grow up.

There is no if I am grown or if I will be grown.

Being an adult is hard at first,

But you'll get the hang of it just be patient and wait.

It won't come naturally you will learn every day.
