Pains of growing up


No more sure about the future
No more hope in the logic of life
No more need to hide the facts
Worry is now synonymous with me
These life pains are too much to bear

Education emancipate the mind
Education comes at a price and immense sacrifice
Educated I came, with no one taking heed
Dismay is an everyday thing
These life pains are too much of a burden

Growing up, underprivileged offers the background
Growing old in under-privileged circumstances now
Growing up and old with no hope for the future
Hopeless has become my situation
These life pains are too much of a burden

Change comes with perseverance
Change comes after a long wait
Change is scary to those in comfort
Changing the world order is an ingenious solution
These life pains are too much of a burden

Present day hard work bears fruits for generations to come
Hard work isn’t sufficient without a helping hand
Hard work calls for focus and determination
Working hard has to become second nature
These life pains are too much of a burden

Acknowledging past wrongs and defeats
Acknowledging the insurmountable task ahead
Acknowledging that society might be at odds
Self acknowledgement is the foundation
These life pains are too much of a burden
