I was thirteen when I met the puberty queen
And it hit my body so early, made me scream
The nature gave its signal green
Becoming my in house Mannequin

Changes happening so wild and fast
Becoming new me and saying bye to past
The girl I knew was a small flower
Blooming now is the need of the hour

Emotional tug of war playing inside
No one knows how many times I cried
My body is changing, growing, and healing
Something which I was not willing

Have got bushy hair everywhere
My chest growing out of nowhere
Cracking voice like thunder in the air
Seeking attention from here and there

Transforming from a kid to a teenager
Self-doubt and peer pressure are major
Changes within feel like a stranger
Sudden rage can be seen in behavior

It’s a fresh new start of a journey
Not to feel alone there’s a whole teenage army
Mind and body soak in the rush of adrenaline
Puberty just makes me more feminine

Anxiety, mood swings and low self-esteem
Searching for thy self is the only dream
Bullying and body shaming are in the daily regime
Updating social media just like a theme

Visiting parlor to get a shaped eyebrow
Getting a body wax wherever the hair grows
Switching my inners is a new dressing style
So, whenever the blood stains it will aisle

Grown-up girl now needs to glow
Make things normal to and fro
All pessimism needs to throw
Just deal with it and go with the flow

Emotions are at their peak and hormonal drift
Attitude and ego are on a different shift
Relations are gone on toss with a solid rift
Puberty is a sour and sweet, a teenage gift
