All me


Not caring, never worrying

No responsibility, no commitment 

Granted blissful ignorance age young age was my escape.

Never realizing what was sacrificed for me to be where I am.

Here I am being told that I have to grow up and fast.

That statement echoes. “Your going to be18, an adult “

No now I understand. Growing up isn’t as rigid as an idea, I once believed

Being told. Hold on  

No now I see growing up is making the decision 

No now I know growing up is liberty...

Growing up is to have the liberty of deciding how I do so.

No now I decide Growing up is...

ALL ME
