Midnight Poetry (2): Dark Poems With Concealed Motivation

4. Growing Up

As a kid, I was scared of ghosts
Now, afraid of myself that I am older
Stifled by the way everyone boasts
To cry, I have no one's but my shoulder

Growing up changed to breaking down
Feeling suffocated in this hometown
Sobbing in my room rather than playing in the ground

Who said growing up was fun?
My mind daily tells me to give up
Supports, I have none
Pushed everyone away with a blowup

Growing up showed me life's worst side
Alone in my room, I just want to hide
From expectations and my disappointed guide

How can a confident kid
Turn into an insecure teen
Repenting everything I did
I am pathetic, I have seen

I know I am doing everything wrong
But in vain trying to improve all along
Thinking how this broken person used to be so damn strong

Growing up changed me altogether
And this change isn't for good
Mind as delicate and light as a feather
Unable to change when I know I should

Thinking about the future makes me panic
Confidence and dreams sink like Titanic
My inner demons grow even more satanic

When I look in the mirror
I flinch at the closeup
Thinking failure is my only career
I keep on losing myself as I grow up

This poem revolved somewhat around the concept of growing up and the problems you face while growing up, the insecurities, and losing self-worth. You might even get detached from your loved ones trying to process all the changes which are too much for your mind. You try your best to hold onto your younger and better self but in the end, you are forced to let go and build yourself from scratch.
