When You Start Growing

I will tell you life is hard, and laugh right back at you...

I will tell you crying makes it uneasy, and smear the tears

I will tell you I have met eyes that never smile 

I will tell you I have met loneliness that doesn't speak at all

I will tell you I have sat in the same room where life felt empty

I will tell you I have sat looking at someone who just doesn't want to go home 

I will tell you relationships are hard, and will hold your hands right away

I will tell you cold shoulders are greasy but it's the intense warmth that makes you shiver

I will tell you I have met people for who love was the only thing until they picked being lonely

I will tell you relationship devors decorum like a wolf feasting on fresh carcass

I will tell you vultures gather to eat what pains the most, yes the lost ones

I will tell you dark is hard, but directions are easier when unseen

I will tell you what itches me is constant pain

I will tell you how naked I am in reality but no one wants to see you sad

I will tell you how it all begins 

It all begins when you start growing
