Little girl wants to grow up so fast Doing everything all at once You are scared of missing out But can you even keep up? You want to turn your body into a gallery As fast as you can, to be your dream self But calm down your soul, only age will tell You have time. Oh, anxious soul, slow down Don't want to experience all right now Each step at a time, Clear your mind You are not missing out You are just seventeen I know you seek the world But let's keep it simple You don't have to know every fact, Every drink or how to kiss Your life has just begun So let it happen What is meant to be will come, At it's right time If it doesn't, let it go Don't stress out. -Catarina Ferrão 10/2/2026
