the fear you feel

it isn't from the changes you keep going through

it's from the growth you've endured.

you're afraid to be the person you've become

you're afraid that everything will change

but what if the world changes with you too?

"this world is no place for a child," they sneer

so you decided it was time to grow up

but what they didn't understand is that you aren't a kid anymore

you're stronger than they wanted you to be

so you're afraid

you're afraid of that voice inside of you

because soon they won't be able to silence you anymore
