[bodytext] => All Part Of Growing Up I used to lie in bed, afraid of the dark, Wondering if there was something under my bed. I used to wash my hair over and over again, Hoping I could drown out the red. I used to sit at the table long after dinner, Because I refused to eat my peas. I used to carry tissues in my back pocket, Cause my alleges made me sneeze. I used to go to school, sit in the front of the class, To make sure I didn’t turn out dumb, I used to have to wear braces on my teeth, Cause as a child I sucked my thumb. I used to cringe in the morning when I woke up, To find a pimple on my face, I used to think everyone would notice, Though I know that wasn’t the case. I used to study all night, go to class all day, Till finally the day did come. When I got a job and became a grown-up, After my growing days were done.
