I Am
As a child, I knew who I was
I was the one to take the first step
As the years went by, things changed
The "Yes" became "Maybe"
The "I can do it!" became "should i do it?"
The fearless jumps became filled with fears of hitting the pavement
The one way outcome thoughts became a web of "what ifs"
The exciement of meeting someone new became a suspicion of what is their intention
I am afraid of taking the first step
As a teenager, I know who I want to be
I want to be happy
I want to not doubt
I want to take action, instead of observing
i want to face my fear
I have to take the first step
