Up


Grown up.

Realization that life may never be easy again.

Anxiety.

Wondering…worrying that you will never live up.

Will I make it?

Will I be strong enough?

21.

The age you never thought you’d see.

That makes me grown up, right?

You weren’t prepared to get this far.

But you’re pushing through.

Even though it’s hard

And you feel weak,

You’re still here.

You’re still trying.

Growing up

Is the act of growth.

As long as you are going,

You are still growing.
