Confident, assertive, ambitious:

That’s what you think I am.

Confused, perplexed, uncertain

is what I actually am and what you should know,

because I am still young,

and I have still more to live,

and I have still not blossomed.

My teeth scrape against each other

and my palms sweat

with the mere thought of not knowing.

It disturbs me.

It petrifies me in every way possible

and shakes my core,

because I am still young,

and I have still more to live,

and I have still not blossomed.

What has preceded me,

my successes, my failures, my experiences,

are my only guide

the only clue that heads me to my future

the only lead I can count on,

because I am still young,

and I have still more to live,

and I have still not blossomed.
