Not So Little Anymore
I handle stress, chaos, and failure quite well
When I see damage, I solve it then dwell
I can’t do it on my own
It’s scary out in the world
When I was younger I didn’t need to worry
About pain, disappointment or to be sorry
Being ‘wrong’ wasn’t a thing
I would be dancing, drawing, maybe even sing
I’m not so little anymore
I fail and cry about tests and friends
No one told me that eventually it would all end
I grow and listen to all the advice
If I don’t pay attention to it, I pay the price
But it’s how I’ll grow up and learn
At the end I will get what I’ve earned
The respect and knowledge gained from my mistakes
Ambition and growing, is all that it takes
I’m not so little anymore
