We are growing up
We have already changed so much
Racing down a hill on a sled used to be enough
And see who could go higher on the swings and then jump off
Slowly we stopped being able to cry in public and only did it under the covers at night
We became self aware about our bodies and covered our flaws
We overthink and hope we are enough
We don't get read bedtime stories and we fall asleep after our parents
Just trying to fit in and decide to change for you trying not to get lost,
We're not adults yet but we are already reminiscing when we were young and carefree.
We'll be grown up with nothing but memories.Please vote and comment!
