Individuality

Independent at a young age

Had to realize it wasn’t just a phase

Two paths to choose from

The streets or education 

Different versions of myself all to get to where I’m at 

Heading towards what I want to become

The best version of myself possible 

Double identity-- myself and my twin

Who I am and who I want to be

But who am I and who is she? 

The unknown sense of self 

Seeing new experiences through different lenses 

At the end, I am heading to where I’m supposed to be 

Growing up is more than just a phase

It’s continuous 

Reaching a level of comfort

I will never know

Growth I try to achieve

Day in and day out 

Although I am grown up

A piece of my childhood still remains

The trauma and life experiences 

Have made me this way
