A Growth Story

Something is growing inside of me,
Strange and rough emotions rise.
The face in the mirror seems unfamiliar,
Is this me, or someone else?

The science teacher said,
"This is the dance of hormones."
The literature teacher said,
"Poetry is growing inside your heart."

My story with the two teachers,
Body and mind growing together.
Science shows the change, literature shows the feelings,
Both perspectives help me understand myself.

My knees hurt, and the nights are long,
Tears fall for the smallest things.
Science gave me the reasons,
Literature embraced me.

The science teacher said,
"Your body is walking a new path."
The literature teacher said,
"Your heart is writing a story."

My story with the two teachers,
Body and mind growing together.
Science shows the change, literature shows the feelings,
Both perspectives help me understand myself.

In the wave of hormones,
In the poem of my heart,
I find myself,
This path is not scary.

My story with the two teachers,
Body and mind growing together.
Science shows the change, literature shows the feelings,
Both perspectives help me understand myself.

The two teachers hold hands,
Looking at me with warmth.
Body and mind together,
I'm on my way to finding myself.

"Growth is a harmonious dance of body and mind."
