I'm Just A Kid

sometimes i stop and wonder
how on earth i got here
so close to adulthood,
yet still attached to my childhood.

often i forget
i'm just a kid
being rushed into a life
i'm not ready for.

i watch the people around me,
some in relationships,
others even getting engaged,
while i've never romantically held hands.

it's crazy for me to think
that i'm growing up when
i don't even know
what i'm going to do or who i'm going to be.

can society give me a moment
to pause,
to breathe,
and be a kid?

it's exhausting

being bombarded with questions about the future.
just because i'm almost there,
doesn't mean i am.
give me my last few years because in all reality
1'm just a kid
whose heart is too young to grow up just yet.
