the hardest things

growing up

thats all they talk about

at a young age

things scare you

you fear the little things

but noone cares

they say its time to

grow up

what if it wasnt about growing up

what if growing up ment the same

growing up

ment taking on things

you cant handle now

i mean come on

growing up

thats the best you got

the hardest thing

i ever learned

was that growing up

wouldnt fix 

or change

my fears or those little things

that growing up

would make them worse

the hardest thing

i ever had to do

was to protect my mother

at a young age

i fear him then

i fear him now

i fear him years to come

but the choice that i took

saved us all

when the world let go

i fell below the crust

into a world

where imaginations arent permitted

a world where blood is the new red

scary huh

thats the hardest thing

i could have did

its not growing up

its what you need to take on

those little fears

that are in are imagination

sometimes are real deamons in are lifes

the hardest part

was getting away

the hardest part is staying alive

its a game to him

but you cant just grow up

to have to play it

to stay alive

not growing up

the hardest thing

is staying alive

Staying alive is very important. Parent have a hard job. Raising their children and they wander into the dangerous and crazy world. One day you will understand. I like the desire and the purpose of this poem. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poem.

Yes... It isn't about growing up it is about gaining the knowledge to rise above the game and conquer them all! Great write!
