GROWN

I'm grown, widely woke 
I leveled up 
Improved my mental balance 
The things that breaks me
Now strengthen me
Where they see chaos
I see opportunities 
My mind is my weapon.

I'm grown, strong and bold 
My future I must take hold of 
No reason will let me fold
Dedicated to my goals
Always feeling at home
Even when 
I am away from home
Just to get the goals
I dig deep just like coals.


I'm grown, purpose driven 
I don't fit in
Steadily doing things 
Beyond the society's imagination 
I do things with intentions 
Not for attention 
Moving in the right direction 
Because I'm addicted to succeeding.
