Growing Up
By: Ashley Raquel Wilson

You are a glowing light brought from the heavens
I am a pill masking what fate has forced me to do
You are unbeknownst to pain and sorrow
I am a pool of memories and flashbacks
You are untouched from betrayal and heartache
I am alone forced to miss what’s been lost
You are free to imagine what can be
I am imprisoned to remember what was
You are the child with in
I am the adult forced to grow up
You were me
I am what you've become
