Transition to a Life of a Teenager
Days of confident smiles even with barely any teeth
Days of continuous TV
Days of no worries
Days of playing outside for hours
Days of confidence to do anything
Days of wearing whatever your mom picked for you
Days of making friendship bracelets
Days of having tea parties with dolls
Days of looking cute without even trying
Days of barely washing your face
Not anymore
Days of fake smiles or placing hands on the mouth when laugh
Days of watching TV with the voice in your brain reminding you of all the homework
Days of constant worry about weight, face, hair, outfits, significant others, college and more
Days of sitting in the room with piles of homework instead of the piles of toys
Days of feeling insecure about every activity
Days of standing in front of the closet for hours deciding what to wear
Days of worrying if your friends are fake and using you
Days of collecting stuffed animals gifts your significant others gave
Days of wearing tons of makeup to cover up the imperfections
Days of applying endless products to prevent acne.
