Growing Up

im flowing 
moving 
changing 
constantly 
even when i don't realize it
these years they flee from me
racing so outta control
i cant even keep track 
one moment im here 
the next im there

i have learn 
i have grew 
from being reckless and fast.....

flashing lights
those stupid mistake 
become real

real world 
real time
 no more playing 

its these lessons harshly learned 
that brought me to where i am 
has shown me the real truth about our wold

has brought me love n knowledge 
has made me spurt 
enjoy the little things life brings me 
simple 
sweet

and time is still coming a pone me 
still moving with in me
still changing
growing

soon i feel ill touch the sky 
i pushed as much doubt i had that i cant , out 
clearing my mind of negatives

and for those who doubt me they only push ever farther
make me grow
improve
proving them wrong

because i know whats inside me
its beautiful
strong 
and has so much potential that it must be seen
how can it not be
