Growing up,
I always wanted to be grown up.
Looking from down there, seeing how my parents hero up.

Growing up,
That was a dream come true.
Being all big and having everything figured out.
Having enough paper to seek out your needs,
Having enough courage to stand on your feet.
No rules, no one to tell you what to do.
No rules, no one to tell you how to feel.

Growing up,
Being all comported and having all the answers.
Giving the rules and not taking them,
Recognizable achievements and loud celebrations.

Grown-up,
The feelings, the stress, the pain, the fears.
Debts, little achievements, and greater setbacks.
Now I understand...
