Growing Pains

Growing Pains

When you are in a new place

But you still feel the same

You don’t fit into the mold

So, you stretch until you break

The pieces fall around you

You try to pick them up

You glue them back together

And the feeling kind of sucks

Growing pains

They won't go away

They say this is good

But I am tired of the way

That I am feeling all the time

The fatigue in my mind

Overwhelms and overthrows

The rhythm of my life

They say

Looking back it will be good

I’ll be happy for the change

So for the time being

I look up towards outer space

The comets and the stars

The planets and their orbits

Scholars say they’ve shifted far

From their predisposed origin

So did the objects of the heavens

Also feel the pain

That is always consequential

Of a personal change

Life necessitates

Growth to survive

So even when it sucks

Growing pains help us to strive
