i'm a little kid.
sitting at the top of the staircase late at night,
listening to my sister and parents argue.
all of a sudden,
i've grown up.
i'm a teenager,
but i still sit there and listen,
just like i used to.
all of a sudden,
i'll have moved out.
i won't be able to sit there at the staircase and listen,
but i'm okay with that.
as long as she's still here with me.

i won't be able to sit there at the staircase and listen,
but i'm okay with that.
as long as she's still here with me.
i'm terrified of growing up
