So guys I'm writing a new poem, and I want to know what growing up means to you, try to keep it like 1-3 sentences, but like PLEASE no one word answers. Thank you!!
I shall be nothing;
the wind,
the sky.

A sense of finality as I realise that things will never ever be this easy and cozy again. Also a broadening of perspective, realising that what seemed earth-shaking before is much more manageable now.

the realization that i am not naturally good
the splitting apart from what i am unable to be
the reforming of my own self with my own hands

in any order
they/them



perhaps i can make something of this unreality...

New perspectives but yet realizing I'm not so different from when I was a child.
I am the workingman, the inventor, the maker of the world's food and clothes.
I am the audience that witnesses history.
