When I Grew, I Grew Big
When I grew, I grew big
Puncturing the naiveness that made every choice
Constructed with a closed mind and idiocy
Shattering the carelessness that made room for no voice
Needing maturity to grow in a sense of urgency
When I grew, I grew fast
Hardly having time to reminisce
Unable to see myself in depth and carefulness
Wisping past affairs I could should have taken in
Making me ill with nostalgia and homesickness
When I grew, I grew tough
Unbending and strong from the things Iʻve learned
Able to move with a sense of confidence
Mind completely hardened and formed
Changing the view of myself through independence
When I grew, I grew clever
Perceptive and attentive of every situation
Every thought stealthy and sharp,seeing through conspiracy
Every move made with a slick observation
My mind ruling over heart and soul with strong supremacy
When I grew, I grew big
No longer radiant with youth and carefree
No longer slowing down time to enjoy the nostalgic moments
Feeling, every moment, the need to better me
Looking into my past with a longing disappointment
When I grew, I grew big
