Eighteen

The age of adult hood

I feel as though I'm getting younger

By the day

Younger

I was already an adult at the age of eight

Ten years later and I'm almost all done growing

I feel small

Incapable of thinking

Incapable of doing anything myself

I feel as though I'm a child

Small and fragile

But I'm almost eighteen

I count down the days to my adulthood

The day i can leave

The day i can be free

But i don't want to be alone

Alone and scared

Alone

All alone

Eighteen

It is scary

Frightening

I feel dead

Alone

Scared

Fragile

Small

But I'll be eighteen

Soon enough

I will be

An adult
