Growing.

Seeking Adulthood

© Maysie Stott Morrison

I'm getting older now,
No longer a child,
Not yet an adult,
But a girl trying to carve a path for herself

I'm learning to make my own choices,
Molding a future with my bare hands,
Learning how to step out,
Despite the shaky ground

I no longer need to be held tight in your embrace,
But crave an independence,
A one that lets me explore my hunger for this world,
A world full of hidden meanings

But sometimes I fall,
As I struggle to take in the world before me,
Overwhelmed by the bigger picture,
The adulthood that lays ahead

And it must be hard for you to accept,
That I'm building a life for myself,
Making mistakes that you cannot cure,
Choices you never dreamed I'd make

See Me Grow Up

© Katilyn

See me cry
See the truth behind the lies
See me smile, See me laugh
See the flashbacks of my past
See my bad habits come to an end
See me leave footprints in the snow
See me wave hello and goodbye
I'm amazed to see everything new
Time flew by, and left a mark
See me dance in the rain
See me ignore all types of pain
See me grow-up and take on the world
See me now, I'm not a little girl
See me graduate high school
See me graduate college
See me wear my heart on my sleeve
See the people leave my side
See the people stay by me
See me start to make my dreams come true
See me speak what's on my mind
See me help people, See me forget
See the next me.
I bet you thought I wouldn't write anything like this.
See me prove you wrong.
I thought you might be surprised, you don't know me than.
See me see you be shocked.
