Child


You may see me as nothing more as child

But I have grown and exprienced many things

I will still experience alot but I am no mere child

I am an 18 year old child

I am a child who is legal

I am a child who needs to be treated as more than a child

I have grown up

I may not know everything but im learning

With everything I learn, I grow, I see, I discover, I understand

I am now an adult but all you see are failures

But I have grown and fixed those failures and succeed

I am no longer a child

I am an adult who is responsible for my actions

I am an adult who may mess up but there my messes to clean up

I love you

But I have grown and I will fight to be grown
