g r o w i n g e v e r y d a y (P)

When I was a little kid of five,

I was like this catterpillar who couldn't wait to turn into a butterfly,

Unaware of the harsh reality of the sky,

I just wanted to grow these huge wings and fly;

But when growth came, it came like a tide,

It washed away my innocence, it took away my childish pride,

And all I was left with, was insecurity and doubt,

Growth was(is) painfully slow, but any faster and I would have passed out;

Growth was that one cringey and uncomfortably loud phase,

Growth was when I thought I looked great in two pony tails,

Growth was deliberately listening to sad songs and making myself cry,

Growth was, when at friend's place, trying to look innocent and shy;

Growth was when I lost that same friend,

Growth was when I learnt to let go,

Growth was looking down at myself and accepting I had flaws,

Growth was working on them and moving on to new ones;

Growth is knowing that growth will be forever and figuring out what growth will be tomorrow.

Growth is such a diverse concept, it's so different yet so similar for everyone and it comes at different times and in different ways for different individuals.
