It is what it is

You grew with limitations and restrictions, 

That's just how it goes

It helps modify and regulate the world

There is no other way i suppose

 

Your youth shines so bright,

so much potential you possess

so many doors and keys

you can't help it, so you just make a guess

 

But then comes the word,

the word everyone knows,

It is not something you were taught, 

it is something that blindly shows

 

anything can come with a reward you know this,

anything can come with punishments so severe

you were taught this since you were a child,

but you weren't taught the word fear. 

 

It's something that comes with happiness,

it's something that comes with pain,

It's an existing alive emotion

it's something that you cannot refrain 

 

The World does not revolve around you,

Understand we have grown into our own life quiz

we are raised to be selfish....

Just realize.. It is what it is.
