Teenage girl

I’m caught between the then and now, A little lost, but I’ll allow The world to spin, the days to blur, As I find out just who I were. Some days I’m loud, a fearless spark, Some days I’m quiet, feeling dark. A thousand thoughts, a tangled mind, A heart that aches to chase, to find. I laugh too hard, I dream too wild, A paradox—a woman, child. Strong and soft, both fierce and free, Becoming who I'm meant to be.
