Little do you know,
I’m scared.
Things are changing and I can’t stop them.
Soon, they won’t be the same at all.
Little do you know,
I’m finally free.
The trees are still green.
The sky is still blue.
My skin is still pale.
But I’m so much different.
There is this sparkle in my eyes.
This little flicker of light that appears every time I look at myself in a mirror.
Little do you know.
Behind my smile is this determination that makes me look like a little girl who is desperate to be liked.
But the truth is, I do not care anymore.
Little do you know,
I’m ready for whatever the world throws at me.
