Do you remember the days where all you ever lived for was your freedom ?
When growing up would make you impatient
When being a child was a nuisance
When all you wanted to do was a skip a few chapters
When you looked in the face of adulthood and saw freedom reflected

You were hungry, nah, famished
And now, is your youth the only thing that has made you so full ?
You are relentlessly eating it up on the shiniest platter
You never share because it's yours to eat

Nobody told you the platter you were eating on would fade
And that the reality of growing up is far more than eating one thing on your platter
All you saw was the shiniest
They forgot to mention everything in between that matters the most
They forgot to mention, that this platter you ate from didn't only carry joy
That sometimes you'd eat from it and your heart would be shattered
That falling in love changes you
That loss, pain and disappointment are sometimes the only things served on the platter
And so we're grown up now, how's that going ?
