Grown Up


Im not a kid anymore

Im being thrown behind a wheel and expected to graduate in two years

Im not a kid anymore

Boys like me for my body not my ability to play kickball

Im not a kid anymore

Leggings make me feel unfortable about my body when they used to be a staple

Im not a kid anymore

Sleeping away my problems instead of being forced to take a nap

Im not a kid anymore
