Teenage

It’s not just our bodies that grow
It’s not just our scars we don’t show
It’s not just the emotions we hide
But it’s our inner soul preparing for a high tide.

It’s not just our strength that increases
It’s not just our determination that freezes
It’s not just our thoughts that rattle
But it’s our inner soul preparing for a battle.

It’s not just our tears that are louder than our cries
Our thoughts shut due to unusual “goodbyes”
We’re growing as time passes by
Unaware that some knots will untie.
