That Glow-Up


That Glow Up by Domonique Shannon (12)

 

From those pig tails to braids

All those hairstyles you slayed

You relized you’ve grown up

Not only grown up but you had a glow up

 

It didn’t come easy

You had to face some difficult times

Things you had to make up in your mind

 

From that first heartbreak

To stuffing your face with cake

Your friends tell you is ok

When you know you’ll be alright

But it still feels like crap at the end of the day

 

You can take advantage of that moment

and grow from it

You’ll bounce back so quick

Throw him in a bag and that will be it

Just one faze in your life that you go through

 

No counting the stress

You’ll get from test

Oh, you’ll know your blessed

When you walk across that stage

Say good-bye to waking up early

And say hello to…

Wait guess what’s next

College

Oh well at least you know you had that glow up
