Soon enough, I’ll be the adult.
Soon enough, I’ll be the one pressured—
Just like my parents.
I’ll be alone.
I’ll have thousands with me, but no one of my own.
Losing innocence, losing the title of "Papa’s girl,"
I’ll be alone. Just like my parents.
Soon enough, I’ll be the adult.

"Time is a thief that trades innocence for pressure. 'Soon enough' isn't just a phrase; it’s a ticking clock. I wrote this to capture the specific moment when the daughter becomes the stranger, and the 'Papa’s girl' becomes just another face in a crowd of thousands. Read this if you’re also standing on the edge of 'growing up' and looking back one last time."
