Growing Up

Growing up
in our house
you learned
to say
as little
as possible

you learned
DISCRETION

you learned
TIMING

at your own
human expense

growing up
in our house
you saw the ends
of all wrong

you learned
MISTAKES

you learned
DUPLICITY

growing up was
an awkward time
but very educational
in the end

if you
SURVIVED

with your soul
