my poetry diary.

~growing up~

i don't want to loose myself,

but i can't give this up,

i miss just being me,

but is that enough?

i don't want to loose myself,

but i live in this facade,

i miss just being me,

but the damage is done

i don't want to loose myself,

but it's never that simple,

i miss just being me,

but can't i just live a little?

i don't want to loose myself,

but can i ever give this up?

i miss the old me,

when i thought i was enough.

Behind the Poem: 

This poem was inspired by the song "GROWING UP IS _________" by Ruel, and a bit of my own personal experiences. Sure, you'll go to parties, put on this show, but at the end of the day you always wonder if you're losing yourself in the process.
