Growing up,
The journey started,
Ever since middle school
When I was 11 years old
Immature and Self Conscious
I was really chubby and my face were full of pimples/acne
Worrying what other people thought of me
I'm still confused what I want to be when I grew up
An art teacher, a fashion designer, interior designer
I don't really know, honestly. Confused.
I became more of a tomboy, less of a girly
It was really devastating and tough at that time.
It ****** and stinked.
I had to take responsibility, independence, and
Taking care of myself, loving myself no matter what circumstances
Until high school
When I was 16 years old
I got freedom
I could where whatever I wanted
But, it had to be appropriate for school
I wore short skirts
I became more girly, less a tomboy.
I grew out of it, I grew up.
I was happy, confident and responsible
I experienced great things, more than I could've ever imagined.
People come and go, but memories stay forever
I loved it
It still is until now
I can't believe it
I think that I want to be a poet
When I grow up.
Suddenly, I had the urge and the courage to write poetry.
Which I have to deal with
That was the end.
Then, I could have my life back
Finally, I moved on from being a girl to an independent woman.
