Grow Up Poem by ellery lim

Sometimes you must grow up
The ways of this world tells you
Grow up
Don’t lag behind
Grow up
Grow up
Grow up

You could stationary all your life
Never see the truth
In sadness or in blithe
Remaining days and nights
You could live, one day at a time
The end of this world
The perishing of you and me

You could do nothing about it
But your family’s at stake
Can you bring yourself?
To just stare and sit
Or with all your might
Fight like a man
And fail like one

You might never understand
Why man will take a different stand
He takes in his stride
A different type
Different pride

For

You don’t see what I see
You have never been me
