Independence
People think independence is being free
Freedom from parents
Free to follow your dream
Freedom to embrace the present
But independence is the opposite
Full of responsibility and issues
Full of people struggling to profit
Causing people to cry and use alot of tissues
Kids await this fate
Thinking it is wonderful
But are shocked when it's not great
Making their outlook go from cheerful to fearful
Education
First independent thing kids tackle
They have to decide their future before graduation
But some fail and crackle
Bills
After education comes the rest
With mountains and hills
Bills and bills and bills that pile upon your chest
Independence is not everything
It is hard and stressful as you've seen
So wait a little before this beating
Be happy with today, it will be gone when you turn eighteen
