Seeing a Black And White world is a form of naiveté. A beautifully, chaotic way of seeing a world covered in nothing but grey.

That Phase

We all

go through that phase -

That phase

where we question everything.

Will they like it?

Does it look good?

Am I good enough?

Is it worth it?

Is this really the last time?

Do I want to go to the party?

What about school?

Am I good enough?

And when the phase

is almost over –

On that last point –

Breaking point.

You ask

yourself –

Where did I go?

What happened to

me?

What happened to who

I used to be?

What happens now?

And then you stop asking -

and start answering.
