Being an Adult


Being an adult is not being 18,

We are still one with no responsibility,

Until you have a house, a car, a phone,

One you must pay for on your own,

You are dependent upon another,

Someone who is your spouse or your mother,

Now that one has all these bills,

You realize you cannot afford all the frills,

Being an adult is a difficult task,

But with some education you will surely make it last.
