Eighteen
May 23, 2013
Eighteen,
the world was
supposed to shift.
A magical metamorphosis
was supposed to take place.
Eighteen,
I am now legally
an adult, who can stand
my own ground, do as I please.
Eighteen,
What to do?
What is there to do?
Nothing in the world to do.
Eighteen,
Oh No! I'm
responsible for myself!
Now I have to watch what I do!
Eighteen,
Bummer, same life
but stricter rules now
that I'm officially declared an adult.
Eighteen....
Huh! Not as
much fun as I had
thought!
