In-Between

The threshold of adolescence.
Moving into an in-between.
Not an adult.
Not a child.
The confusion.
The pressure.
The child fighting to live longer.
The girl wanting to be noticed.
The tension you don't understand
when the focus shifts from words
suddenly to lips.
The changes you try to hide,
yet wanting to be
the charmer of the room
at the same time.
The world around you
shifting all at once.
And still—
the exams hanging over you
like a verdict on intelligence.
Hold on.
Let go.
Hold on.
Let go.
Lost in-between
