Definition of me


Definition of me

It isn't easy moving from his house back to hers,

or taking care of her when I'm not ready to take care of myself.

I try to lead my sisters in The right direction, 

but to them it's a fork in the rode. 

I was a kid when I was young, but it was stripped away. 

I grew up to fast. 

I used to dream of fairytales and princes, 

but I now dream of chores and witches. 

although I am only 16, 

i have aged 20 years. 

Growing up isn't easy and it makes me tired.

no wonder the elderly sleep. 

Youth is easy, 

no wonder it's missed. 

I hope the definition of me is given some thought,

I wish i was proud of my definition. 

I know I will be soon.
