Growing Up

Something has happened.

I have changed.

This happens to all of us.

But I'm scared.

 

I'm scared because I think

that at some point

I lost something.

Something of myself.

Something I can never get back.

 

And what really scares me.

 

Is that with every passing day.

 

I remember less and less.

 

What I lost.
