    I Hate Growing

     Momma said take it like a man
    Daddy said men don't take it
    Momma said be all you can be
    Daddy said you'll never make it
    Momma says to follow your dreams
    Dad said stop chasing rainbows
    Momma said she'd always be there
    now she's just where all the pain goes
    with head alight and confusion thick
    I stumble out into this twisted life
    just use your head boy that's the trick
    get job get married have kids with wife
    In light of all that's taken hold
    I stagger on in blinding tear storms 
    now they're all gone I fumble on
    Why did I reach for the blessed norms

    Oh the struggle to be free, to be just you, without the haunting voices that paved your road.... When the day breaks and you pick and choose what You want for you, disregarding what you never needed, you'll be free, to just be, YOU.
