When Did We Grow Up?

When did we grow up?
From listening to granny's lullabies,
To our own incomprehensible song lyrics!
From troubling our parents continuously,
To be disciplined and doing stuffs carefully!!

When did we grow up?
From being scared of loneliness,
To longing for untrampled and lonely place!
From being hurt by others without being guilty,
To giving befitting replies without being sulky!!

When did we grow up?
From loving others blindly and being caring,
To ditching those who are undeserving!
From a naive and credulous being,
To having a suspect on everything !!

When did we grow up?
From being fickle minded and frivolous ,
To becoming careful and responsible!
From imprecating our own lives for facing struggles,
To taking challenges and being adapted to the troubles!!
