I’m all grown up now
And no longer afraid of the dark
I’m not afraid of monsters
Or aliens

I don’t have nightmares anymore
About the bogie man
And other dark and scary things

Now I’m afraid I’m not good enough
And that I won’t make anything of myself
I afraid that my dreams won’t come true
And that I’ll end up alone

I’m unsure of where my life is going
And scared that it might not go anywhere
I’m worried that I won’t make my parents proud
And that I won’t fulfill everyone’s expectations

I’m all grown up now
And I used to think grown-ups were brave
But even though I’m not afraid of the dark
I’ve realized that being a grown up
Can be just as scary

This was good. I really like the topic.

Punctuation though, and in the first stanza, the additions about being scared was kinda redundant to me.
