Growing Wings And Other Things - 2. I Hate It When

I hate it when
My pets die
Mothers cry
and lovers lie
When people quit school
Because it's considered un-cool
When boys think it's okay to fight
And girls think being a size 0 is alright

I hate it when parents pressure their kids to follow their own lost dreams
Even if that child has a broken spirit
Financial success is still more important it seems
I hate it when people look at me and say:
I would never live my life that way

But let me tell you this
I love myself, I love my life

I've been through a lot
I've experienced a lot of strife
And still my greatest joy is that first ray of sunlight

To you who read and to you who share
Let this be a testament that yes, life is unfair
But what would life be without a challenge ?
Boring if anything
So rise up and WIN!
