To all those adolescents who ever felt fading away in the transition of growing up.

ᯓᡣ𐭩₊˚⊹

It hurt that I wasn't a child to my parents anymore,
They expected from me more and more.
For them, I wasn't even a growing kid,
But someone with a grown-up chore.

The weight of expectations, heavily building up in me,
Left me crying, and fading everything free.
I was not allowed to do what I wished to be,
Pressure building in me more recklessly.

As I look around, people are familiar,
But emotions are not, and it's hard to bear.
Fading friends, like the sparks that lose their light,
I am not liked by everyone, and it hurts to the night.
A person with a happy facade, hiding my pain,
Reality buried deep, with tears that fall in vain.
