I actually wrote this one as I was looking at a picture on the wall of me and my brothers when we were little.  I'm only 14, so I haven't really grown up, and I don't really plan to any time soon.  I guess, though, that I am growing up, huh?  Unfortunately...  Oh well, here it is.

GROWING UP

Growing up
You learn
You won’t always
Get your turn
Some things that took so long
To build, will burn

Growing up
You always change
You try something new
You expand your range
You get taller
But your determination gets smaller

Growing up
Your horizons expand
Your hopes enlarge
Like a rubber band
Each thing in life
Seems so grand

As you get older
Your heart gets bolder
You realize that life isn’t so bad
And you are glad
Just to be alive


                  - Cody

Ah, growing up.  Add that to my to-do list, according to my parents.  Well, great poem.  What else to say?  I really liked it.  Im so sorry, I am a little short on words tonite, so just know I liked it!

My tears roll right down my cheeks, but they all soak into my pillow.  I feel kinda sorry for it...

Nicely done! You know, getting older is not something I ever wanted to do. for some odd reason i get massively depressed on all my b-days. I hate my b-days....simply despise them. I gain knowledge and wisdom with time, and by time I obviously mean by growing up....yet......in growing up we go through times....trying times and great times.....either way, and in my situation, the trying times happen more than the great times, and frankly I learn more about myself from the tryimg times.
I never look forward to that, but hey....it's life....and life is beautiful.....for the most part  .

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I like this one, a different theme from you.  Good job.

Growing up is hard but you also expressed how in the end, you're just happy to be.  And that's a good thing.  Good job.
