To Who ?
To grow up and accept I’m not a kid anymore
To learn and unlearn for me to become more
while still trying to hold on to the pieces of who I was before
To wanting to make everyone proud
while ignoring the voices in my head that get loud
To knowing they’re waiting for me to decide on what I’m doing in my life
To not knowing what direction I’m taking
whether it’s wrong or right
To get lectured and then feel pressured
To hear them say,
“Hey, you’re getting older, that means they know better, right?”
That means they’ve calculated it—it’s a method to their madness
To know that whatever happens, happens
To find out no matter what my outcome is, I will be elevated
To be understood rather than underestimated
