Hidden In Plain Sight

It feels like I’m transitioning from girlhood into womanhood.
(being a woman is unsafe)
And to be honest, I’m feeling quite lost. 
(what will happen to me?) 
At first it felt like something was being taken from me without choice. 
(I’m not ready)
My youth.
(what other value do I have?)
However, now it feels like I’m swept up in a current that is both exciting and terrifying. 
(where does this lead to?)
And… very lonely. 
(I’m scared)
There are desires rising so strongly, yet no guidance on how to embrace them. 
(so few women who inspire me)
The Self I’ve called home for so long no longer fits. 
 (I can’t hide there anymore) 
It’s small and uncomfortable. 
(everything wants to keep me small)
I have outgrown it. 
(everything about it is safe and familiar)
