Watch Out , I’m About To Glow


oh no is that a pimple

what happened to my cute dimples

my clear skin seems to be gone 

i remember when it was all so simple 

i’m changing i’m changing for better or worse

im changing im changing it’s starting to hurt

as my voice deepens and my height increases it seems everything has changed

seems the only thing that remained the same is my mother and my name

freaking out over what to do

do i shave it now

will my voice ever stop cracking 

as i go and take a bow

i feel as if something is lacking 

im in this scary dark cave called puberty 

is that a light i see

shiny teeth clear skin that’s all i see

my voice is becoming stronger how can this be 

just a month ago it was cracking when i said the word we 

are those muscles building fast 

my hair is growing in a flash

as i think of all the bad things puberty had to offer i felt sad and like burnt toast 

now i’m more attractive and i don’t mean to brag or boast 

but thank god thank god that i finally glowed
