Ode to Adulthood

I've reached the age of eighteen

Happy birthday I've been told

And even though I'm considered young

I really can't help but feel so old.

Only just yesterday was I seventeen

So young and bright and fun

But now that I am eighteen

The time for those is done.

My face is messy and full of zits

Yet still people think I'm in 8th grade

But I suppose those corpulent chubby cheeks

Are why my baby features stayed.

I'm so old but I stand five feet

Will I ever grow taller?

Only time will tell

But the halfway mark I'll probably never meet.

There are so many things I'm now allowed to do

Vote and drive, live by myself

But my naive spirit lives on.

Will it ever be gone?

I hope this year is a year of good

I'll make it better than I ever could

I'll act my age, just as I should

And with that I conclude my ode to adulthood.

So, yeah. I turned 18 on Saturday. No, we didn't do anything special. Although I would have appreciated a few presents. ;3

Anyway, I told myself on that day that I felt somewhat more mature, but I was lying. Haha. Oh, the things I did and didn't! One would think me still a ten year old. I wouldn't blame them.

Umm, so yeah. I don't know what else to say. Oh, I had a hectic day today doing adult things. That's all.

I have to write some stuff, so, ta-ta!

Until next time! :)
