Who am I?
I’m not even sure,
I knew once upon a time,
But it seems I’ve lost my way.
I can cover the pain,
Force a smile,
But deep inside,
I still try to hide.
I’m lost in the world,
Unsure and alone,
What have I become?
This is not who I am.

Some are never shown as they grow
So many of the young people today are taught so many things starting so young .Only one thing they forgot they never told the young their bodies would be going through stages . Different personalities as they grow the changes within the chemistry in their bodies and at times their feelings they wont understand . I bet you are one of those kids that was never told so you would be rweady for the changes. Well honey today I shall be the one that will tell you that there will be times when you wont want to smile but thats OK
There will be a time where you will want to be off to yourself in silence but thats ok too as long as you understand its not a permanent thing . Ever so many years you will grow older and its only in several years as you look back that you will truly see how much you are changing . No one can stop it but if you lock yourself away you will never see what is to be only what is at the moment .
Now you say this is not who I am well of course not for you are still changing . Young people for some reason thinks that when they get up into their teens feels Im grown and nothings happening I am still treated like a child . Oh honey if you were happy and out going and enjoying that person you feel is inside you you wouldnt be treated as a child for only children are asked so many questions for the elders feels their is something wrong . You want to see the real you again then listen up . Look about your room at anything that is the bnewest items you have put in there . L;ook at the music you listen to then look back when you were happy and what you listened to then . Your still inside you but in your mind with it going through these changes it will make you think too much you take what could be a good time and pick it apart and never join in . Come on now you tell me who the person that inside you really is Im here and believe me I have gone through this myself Im here just message me and we will talk for their is not a thing wrong with you that a couple years will be changing trust me but you must be true to yourself dont hide the good kid away to try to be like others for it only causes pain for that young person within is screaming to get out and live and once you do this your life will be so full and exciting you will never look back
