Grown Up
I was shy in elementary school
But I still had a lot of friends
I was told I was pretty smart
But I just loved learning
In middle school it was great
I figured high school wouldn't be that bad
Everything seemed to get better
I was gorgeous, intellegent, friendly, and sad
High school came and I grew out of that
I got a job at seventeen
I switched high schools my junior year
That's when my mind became clean
I think I got popular
And my grades were spectacular
But when in the hell did I improve my vernacular?
I was in charge of this
And president of that
Now I'm writing scholarship poems, trying not to laugh
After a year at my job I got a raise
Recieved a couple honors rewards
Endured a lot of praise, 4.0 GPA
Meeting deadlines, beating deadlines
Clenching a coffee cup
Guess it had to happen sometime
Well, hell, I'm a grown up
