­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ Growing up

Decisions and hopes

Desires and dreams

That’s usually how it starts.

We aspire for perfection

And social acceptance

And let go of our past.

We plan it all out, our future and the rest

But we don’t know where to start

Maybe because the world intimidates

Our dreams, our hopes, our hearts.

Choices confuse us

Mood swings tear us apart

Breakups depress us

And carefree lives take our hearts.

We worry about it all

Be it grades or be it hairfall

We forget our priorities

And we forget ot play our part

But we stand together through thick and thin

And reside in each other’s hearts.

Call us crazy

Call us mental

Call us whatever you want to

But hey, don’t complain

Even we know that

We have a lot of growing up to do.

Tiny victories cheer us up

After all, we feel happiness too

And in the end, even the smallest victories

Make us go over the moon.

We change their priorities

Sometimes we think its all a lark

And sometimes we even have a change of heart

Don’t blame us, we’re trying our best,

But we can’t grow up so fast!

We despise studying

Well, most of us do!

but in the end, all we want

Is an A1 or an A2.

Don’t ask us

Whats going on

Because even we don’t have a clue.

Romantic and adventurous

Humourous and thrilling

That’s how our lives should be.

We stay away from sadness

Or try atleast

And never reject anything that’s free!

We’re bursting with excitement

We’re as happy as we can be

We love our friends and at times

Even make up with our enemies.

We might amuse you

Or even confuse you

But we can’t help it, can we?

Don’t nag us, we’re trying our best

To be as mature as we should be!
