Growing pains 

is what they say.

But it is much

more than that. 


My legs don’t ache

but my heart does.


What must I do?

Where will I go?

Who will I be?


When will this stop?


Please don’t let me 

grow up mom,

I can’t do it alone.


The author's comments:

As I get closer to leaving my parents and going to college I can't help but feel the pain I have felt when it comes to my future, it is almost like an early life crisis.
