Day 244

Child in the Morning, Adult by Night

I couldn't wait to be a teenager.
What little girl can?
With all their firends
And all thier parties
And all their clothes
And their boyfriends
And the prom
And college.

I couldn't wait to be a grown up.
What little girl can?
With all their money
And their late nights
And their sexy TV
And their weekends away
And their freedom
And their power.

Today, I got what I wanted.
Today, I skipped being a teenager.
Today, I became an adult.

Today, I learned that
I have to live with my actions.

Today, I learned about death.
