GROWIN UP

Life as I know it has started to change
all the things i did,now seems strange
an adult I am turning into
an like an adult do the things i should do

no longer do I wear decorative
things in my hair,
no longer do when I sleep
i need a teddy bear.

I am older now,
confused I am, finding new
comfort, don't know how

I had always thought that growing
would be great.
but now the fact of getting
old i hate.

find a job I must,
fend for myself,
only myself i can now trust

parents have done their jobs
of bringing me here,
It's time to do my part,
yes this is the part i fear

will i get through this process,
not feeling like i am hopeless,
I do understand that my years
as a child are over...
but for my years for growing up i wonder.
