I've grown
Walked down the stairs with two left feet
opened up the door that spelled "kindergarten"
Couldn't read but, I guessed and took my seat
Oh, I just wanted to be in my bed
So, I closed my eyes and hoped to be home
and here I was a senior in high school
I sat in my desk and saw a sign
a sign that read "high school"
Thoughts rushed through my head
I kept thinking how fast I've grown up
when I first learned how to ride my bike
when I received my first lunch detention slip
when my motives for good grades was for a new phone
when I walked to the altar to get my certificate for graduating eight grade
to having my first heartache
to friend groups changing by the year
to now, as a senior that's headed into a new start on my own
I've grown
I've grown to love my culture
I've grown to be myself
I've grown to accomplish objectives for myself
I've grown to be confident
I've grown to learn right from wrong
I've grown to be unique
Years passed and I still sit in a chair
hoping to be home
The difference now
The home I hope to be in is the new environment I'll be around for the next few years
