The Space In Between

It's strange, isn't it? When we were younger, The world felt so alive, A canvas with no borders. We laughed without a reason, Chased dreams without a care, Every day felt like magic, Like we had the world to share.

But now we're growing older, Caught in the rush to become, The future feels like a question, With no answers to come. We thought we'd have it all figured out, That the path would be clear, But now it's all a blur, Filled with doubt and fear.

We're standing on the edge, Between childhood and the unknown, Trying to hold on to what's familiar, But we're feeling so alone. The world expects so much from us, Yet we're still learning who we are, Juggling responsibilities, While we're still wishing on stars.

We want to chase our dreams, But we're afraid to fall, The pressure's building up, And we can't hear our hearts call. We're supposed to have it all, But it feels like we're losing control, Trying to keep up with life, While searching for our own soul.
