Growing


As you can tell I am growing.
Yet as i grow i shall fall. 
I fell down today, again.
Tears in my eyes
Yet they will not fall, they blur my vision.
I try to wipe away the tears
Yet they will not stop, they start rolling down,
Kinda like a race. 
One after another they come faster and faster.
After they dry up, i start to wonder
Everything you told me, was it just a lie? 
A game to you? 
I am growing, 
yet i will fall down. But i shall get up. 
I am growing 
I am wondering
Inside i'm dying, but outside i'm smiling. 
You make me cry
You hurt me.
You will always be in my heart
Yet i was never in yours.
This is a part of growing up darling.
I am growing.

I have had a hard past year and writing it all down has helped a lot more than I thought it had.
