In Shadow of Becoming, a teenager stands at the crossroads of adolescence and adulthood, caught in a whirlwind of doubt and discovery. As they grapple with the complexities of growing up, they question everything they once believed-faith, self-worth...
They say, "Enjoy your life while you're still a child," For those fleeting years are soft and mild. A happiness so pure, a joy so bright, A spark that fades with the coming of night.
To be a child once more, a life unbound, Where wonder and laughter endlessly surround. Stress was a stranger, distant, unknown, A world of dreams, all my own.
Where the smallest things could light up my day, A new game to play, or the sun's warm ray. Freedom felt endless, like the open skies, Unburdened by doubt or silent goodbyes.
But now, stress clings like a shadow near, A constant whisper, a gnawing fear. Life has shifted, the weight has grown, Responsibility cutting to the bone.
How I long to escape, to run, to flee, To return to that child I used to be. But time moves forward; it never bends, And the freedom of youth inevitably ends.
They said, "Enjoy your life while you're young and free," But no one explained what adulthood would be. Now I carry the weight, the trials, the mess, Living each day under the weight of stress.
