Then I Realized
Right from Wrong
Good to Bad
Peace of mind to constant worrying
Child to Adult
Then I realized I grew up
As a child, I never had to worry about bills
As soon as I began having the anxiety of not having enough
Then I realized I grew up
No more recess breaks only lunch breaks
Juice boxes to alcohol bottles
Sugar highs to just being high
Tears from a broken heart instead of a scraped knee
Then I realized I grew up
