8teen
the age we all wait for
the age when we get to experience life
the age when our parents cannot tell
us what to do with the rest of
our lives
the age when you can decide what
is right for you
the age when your not a scared little
child wandering around
the age when you think you know
everything
the age when you can do anything
you damn well please
but here are a few things you may
not think of
how do you support your self
with no ground under
your feet
how do you get to a good
place with no support
system
how can you know everything
when your life is just
beginning
how can you not be scared
when your entering a
world unknown
how can you experience life
without living it first
how can your parents no longer
have any control over you
when your still too young to
know what to do with the
rest of your life
think and contemplate what I say
think about how much you think you know
think about how much you have to learn
think about how to get on your
own two feet
think with you head not your heart
think responsibly not with you
gut instinct
think about what your going to
do before you do it
the age when you realize
you’re the only one
that can tell you how to
live your life.
