Grown Up

The realization hits you one day,
You're a child no longer.
You depend on yourself,
And make your own decisions and mistakes.

When your heart gets broken,
You cry for awhile;
But then get back up and move on,
Not curse your fate and blame the world.

When bad luck strikes,
As it's prone to do,
You hold your head high
Not whine like a child.

When friends turn on you
And leave you alone in the dark,
You realize who your true friends are
Not scream and promise vengeance and revenge.

Bad things happen and can't be avoided,
But how you deal with it shows your maturity.
If you accept it and move on with your life,
You can know you have truly grown up.
