GROWNG UP.

We slowly die from the time we are born.
As children we stress to see make-believe;
We torture ourselves when youth comes around,
And take in what's felt and best to be sound:
Without knowing the whys and wherefores
The seeds are set for the future score.

By manhood the seeds of belief are in bloom-
Narrow and open minds to choose;
One of those you don't know
Has set the path for you to grow,
On a mental show case of worldly ways
We chance our thoughts to get appraise,
No matter what work place or time of day:
Being led by the systems plays;
Then that sudden feeling one fails to lose,
Is to do things in a child's shoes-
To keep yourself quietly amused,
Because as a child
That was naturally you.
