Growing Up
I look in the mirror
What do I see?
A growing young woman looking back at me
She has ideas and independence
But does she really want to grow up?
What is in her future?
She does not know
School, guys, drugs, friends
Can she handle it?
What happened to the carefree days?
No worries, no problems
Life was so simple
Now it's crazy
Too much noise
Too complicated
A big puzzle with many pieces missing
Can she find those pieces?
Will she finish the puzzle?
In time she will see
But for now she will wait
And deal with growing up
