Growing Up

Growing up is learning how to
connect the mind to the body.
These strange days are filled with
delicate daydreams and mind games.
I follow the moon but find the sun,
listen to the waves constantly telling me
to love myself for who I am and how I see,
how I am not trying to be someone I’m not,
only someone I can look back on and
be proud of the self-awareness
I gained along the way.
