Growing Up

by 2013.rocky17

Growing Up By: Ashley Raquel Wilson You are a glowing light brought from the heavens I am a pill masking what fate has forced me to do You are unbeknownst to pain and sorrow I am a pool of memories and flashbacks You are untouched from betrayal and heartache I am alone forced to miss what’s been lost You are free to imagine what can be I am imprisoned to remember what was You are the child with in I am the adult forced to grow up You were me I am what you've become
