Lost in Growth (Speak Your Mind Scholarship)

I feel as if I am lost in growth.

"Who am I?" I ask as I get old.

Only sixteen but I already hear myself scream.

I don't know if this is a reality or a dream.

Should I continue flying on the swings?

Or should I start to fly on my own wings?

Lost in growth. I think I am starting to grow up.

Seeing the real world makes me want to throw up-

because people make mistakes last forever.

I guess I lost my trust towards whomever.

I make mistakes. I guess I lost trust in myself

Lost in growth. Who am I? I am begging for help.

Not depressed, but rather compressed, I'm not doing enough.

I feel alone as I see the mature world, times are tough.

I remember when I was young, happy because I knew who I was everyday.

But now I can only envision the mature life and it's problems overlay.

I feel like I need help because I don't know who I am anymore.

How can I ask for help when I can't even trust myself, I'm at war. 

I am at a war with myself and I feel as if I am losing.

How can I lose if my mistake and success is due to my choosing?

I feel like a gemini but my horoscopes says cancer.

I am always afraid because I do not know the answer.

I am lost in growth like a teen's voice in puberty.

I do not know who I am anymore.
