Grown

Grown
Is a state of mind
It’s not an age of any kind
It’s not having all the traits on one list
It’s not doing what grown people do
It’s not never showing immaturity
It’s not never showing weakness
It’s knowing you will make mistakes
And learning from them
It’s take the time to digest things around you
Figuring out what’s best
For you
Going through trial and error
And learning your way through
Being big enough to admit
Maybe you made a mistake
Taking responsibility for your actions
Instead of letting anger take control
Sitting back and analyzing
All options that come your way
Learning when your attitude
Can bring you down
Just as much as lift you up
Grown is realizing
That you constantly grow
That you constantly learn
That pushing away
People in your corner
Will land you high and dry
But the people who truly care
Will be there when you come back
But taking advantage
Just because you know that
Shows more immaturity
Maybe a stage
We all need to see
No matter the age
To grow more
Will we ever truly be grown?
When we know everything
There is no more room
For us on this plane
No more learning
Left to gain
Purpose of being here done
Do we really want to be grown
Or continue to learn
Continue to grow
Do grown folks things
Like taking care of responsibilities
Still knowing theres always more growing to do
And being open to it too
