Growing up

Growing up is hard
Its all about
Do they like me?
Is this too expensive?
Is this shirt cute?
Back in grade school things were easy
No failing, no grades, no worries
Now things have changed a lot 
Worries, money, crushes, friends
Now instead of being able to smile and laugh freely
Theres always worries inside bubbling up all day and night
I used to think growing up was fun
But its truly difficult

    We worry

    We think we need to be skinny and perfect to fit into todays society

    Lies a magical fantasy land

    And dragons fly
    Where dreams come true
    The clouds are cotton candy
    The trees are made of chocolate 
    It's an escape from reality

    As the Sun Begins to Rise

    As the sun begins to rise
    The birds stretch their wings and wake everyone up with their singing
    The foxes and wolves yawn and stretch
    Ready to look for their next meal 
    As the sun climbs the sky
