I’VE GROWN like a non-blooming flower
I’VE GROWN like a non-blooming flower
Feeling the pressure of money I now work
Giving me confidence to talk to people with power
In my voice
Got into college
Giving me a daily pre-life crisis
Because this year has been plagued with many questions
What will I study?
Where will I go?
Am I valuable enough for this or that institution?
Most shocking, like a revolution
I don’t care what my peers think because what they think is pointless
What matters is what I think of myself, I don’t need to caress
Their egos by trying to impress
I became a vegan
Making me compassionate
for animals, fellow humans, the environment
I voted for the first time, many ask
I nominate….
None of your business
I’ve grown like a non-blooming flower because I like whom I am
I will always be changing
