The brilliant thing about being an adult
Is you get to decide what matters.

If you'd rather not play
Drizzly football one day
Or the popularly attractive prince
Actually makes you wince
Well that's all fine, everything's fine,
Your kind of thing doesn't have to be mine.

When there's just no way
You can face the day
But you know you really shouldn't miss
The chance of a forever kiss
It's up to you to choose, just choose
Embrace the win and ignore the lose.

Chicken, vegetarian,
Estranged daughter, sonless son,
Up and under, over and out,
Congregation, personal doubt,
Stay for life, go through hell,
Keep your silence, kiss and tell,
Everyday has enormous potential,
Everyone should be consequential.

Have it or don't,
They will know or they won't,
Opinions are plentiful and free,
As much for you as they are for me,
The future is yours to manipulate,
From here and now to painfully late.

The horrible thing about being an adult
Is you have to decide what matters.
