I know I shouldn't fear growing up
because that's just irrational me
it's bound to happen
my bones will ache and my hearing will fade
however, I don't fear that
I fear that moment where I'll put other things
in front of myself
I fear putting some boy that makes me feel good about myself in front of me
I fear putting my job in front of myself
I fear that by growing up it's all bound to happen
the time where you put everyone first before yourself
because that's the thing about growing up
everyone is already before you
