Growing up
Is it supposed to hurt?
Seeing the bare world
Beyond the veil
The naked society as it is
The wounds and blemishes on her skin,
The peculiarity in her ways,
The rawness of her voice
pleading for mercy,
Peeling off any dignity left
Finally seeing the truth
The wrecking truth
So yes
Growing up hurts
Being stripped of the illusion,
Truth always does.

"A flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and most beautiful of all."
