Grow Up Little Boy

twin2

Grow up little boy,
stop thinking of just you.
Grow up little boy,
there's alot we all need to do.

Let the adult in you free.
Become the man that you should be.
Take charge of your responsibilities.

Grow up little boy,
stop feeling sorry for yourself.
Grow up little boy,
try thinking of someone else.

Let nature take its course,
and maturity use it's driving force,
with wisdom as a guiding source.

Grow up little boy,
the pity party needs to end.
Grow up little boy,
I'm done playing the world's smallest violin.

I like the sentiments in this piece. Responsibility, accountability and awareness of history and politics are crucial for self understanding right now.

It's almost like your conscience is ripping into you...the mental, internal battle. I like it.

Thanks, but it's not all about that. It's more like I was ripping into HIM. There's no internal battle here, just frustration at my spouse for not seeing the big picture of a situation.

I understand you might have a certain meaning to your poem, but one thing that is great about art...poetry included, is that each reader/listener can interpret it however they see fit...and it can be molded to fit whatever their feelings are Just remember that.

Sorry if you were offended that I spun my own interpretation. It's beautiful either way.

That's ok. I wasn't offended at all. I like your version as well..it made me think. I agree that it can be "molded to fit whatever their feelings are". Feel free to interpret what I write however you like, it makes it more interesting. Thanks for the compliment.
