THE REAL WORLD

It’s time to be a big boy now
Don’t cry when the world lets you down
You can see my pain and don’t care
You laugh when I rip out my hair
You say that’s just life
That’s not one I wanna live
Society’s words are a knife
Cutting me like a shiv
You’re eighteen years old
Time to grow up and make money
If you aren’t underpaid and overworked
Things are gonna get bloody
It’s time to be a grown up now
You’re not a kid anymore
No one cares if you’re hurt
Cuz everyone is jaded and sore
Suddenly my anxiety is an excusе
To not put up with your verbal abuse
Sorry my fucking mind is a burden to u
My soul is scarrеd and bruised
Don’t you fucking berate me
Like I’m a kid
You tell me to be an adult
Yet you treat me like this?
I just wanna go to sleep
I’m so tired of being eighteen
So all I can do is weep
This isn’t the life i imagined at thirteen
