Growing Up

All around, The Walls
Are falling down.
The calm, idyllic lifestyle,
Has been turned around.
All the relationships,
here and there
Sometimes bring pain,
That is hard to bear.
Uncontrollable events,
Controlled by Fate?
Perhaps by a higher being?
That is for you to contemplate.
As you grow,
Be prepared.
That childhood world will be shattered,
You will not be spared.
