Growing Up

Growing Up

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I refused to grow up

That started so long ago

A family which kept on growing

So many jobs came and went

And pains where pains shouldn’t be

But I never did grow up

Now I see people walking with canes

Forgetting what they were doing

They have the same silver tint as I do

And giving up their fave spicy foods

Then it hits me when I talk to them

We are the exact same ages

Some are even younger

I realize the one thing I never wanted to

I DID grow up and there was nothing I could do
