Twenty

Coming to terms with my second decade...

I was never that girl who went out

And stayed out all hours of the night

Unafraid of being caught

I never had a first kiss at a party

With a boy I didn't know

Just to leave him standing alone

I never had alcohol sting my lips

Or any sort of smoke in my lungs

Just to feel young

I wasn't an average teen

That was shown on the screen

I didn't like that sort of thing

Instead I stayed at home

I read books alone

And wrote poems for fun

In three days I turn twenty

More of an adult than I've ever been

Yet  deep down still a kid

When I was a kid.... I couldn't wait to get older....
this crap isn't what I expected.

Wow! I am not sure if this is true of you but I know I was one who wrote poems for fun and stayed home alone, and yes, deep down I am still a kid even at age 23!

It is true - I'm glad you could relate!
