Grown up

its about the feeling that spreads all over in you when their are more responsibilities and you don't know what to do.

I kept running,

never knowing how far did i have to,

but kept running, 

until that voice had stopped telling me to run,

I kept running,

into the forests, into the dark,

over the cold rivers, leaving my footmarks

Then when the voice had stopped,

I couldn't hear anything.

I was lost, 

never knew where i was, 

or where i had to go.

I was destroyed from inside,

I was just on my own,

ambling here and there,

I fell down over a hundred times,

but never had the courage to get up.

Every time I fell, I laid down 

and looked up above at the sky, 

finding a map to get a way out of all the pains.

but, 

maybe the voice has stopped for my sake,

maybe this is the final destiny,

maybe this is where I belong,

or maybe I've grown up...

'Grown Up'
Grace,
This was a lovely honest portrayal of how life can feel. For we all go through stages and seasons in our lives. I loved how you simply relayed what was being felt at the time. The mention of laying down and staring into the night sky was a touch of positivity which gave a nice contrast.
Blessings to you,

Hi Grace, well here we are, I have reached your first poem. I shall be looking in to see when some new work comes up. I can relate to this, Grace, I was terrified of growing up when I was really young but now it is different. In the Autumn of my years, I look forward now to the Winter of my years. You are still in the Spring of your life. Now this is a wonderful write so never think you are below other poets. Your work stands alone as a wonderful gem. Have a wonderful Wednesday. Hugs always....Mike.

Yes, Grace, all read to date. I shall always be looking in to see if there are any new writes. God bless. Have a wonderful Thursday. Hugs always....Michael.

You shouldn't be so hard on yourself in your authors notes. Perhaps writing shorter pieces and reading the works of Christine Shaw, Beccy, Barleygirl, Emmajoy and many more will help you improve.

[grace]

Thank you so much Gee! :)

[Savannah Gossett]

Now this poem gave me chills. I like how you used the tittle in the last line I love it when writers do that. The feeling of growing up is very scary. This is so relatable. Thank you for sharking this amazing work.

[grace]

I know right, it is scary! Thank you so much for liking it Savannah!

[Shelley Warner]

I like honest poems like yours that express emotions in understandable words. One of my favorite poets, William Wordsworth, does that. I like his poem, "I wandered lonely as a cloud".

[grace]

Thank you!! and yeah, this poem does express every emotion of mine when i think about growing up! cz in between those voices, i couldn't find that one voice that lead me here, my parents. Even though they are with me every second, its still not the same when you are responsible for everything now and you're not anymore dependent on them.. and i guess that's the most difficult part out of it
