Children are like the sun

Bright, cheerful, energetic

Happy little faces

Their rays shine off their faces giving happiness to others

 

When do you know you aren't a child anymore?

Is it just hitting a certain age?

Growing out of all of your little clothes?

Maybe someone just tells you that you arn't a kid anymore?

 

Nope, not even close.

So what makes you know you aren't a child?

There is a number of different things

Each person has their own way of knowing

 

Maybe you aren't as happy as you used to be as a kid

Jokes turn into dark and sexual humor

You begin to actually understand certain things,

Like the meaning of life or love, or others

 

These were the specifics for me,

even though I had plans in my future, I didn't expect to fulfill them

I didn't think I would make it through high school

I was unhappy and hurting, but it eventually got better

 

I haven't exactly found the meaning of life,i probably never will,

But I have learned my own meaning of love.

I have found someone whom I love, and they helped me understand.

I was confused on the meaning for a while, but I've figured it out

 

I also just don't feel like a kid anymore

I guess that's the icing of the cake

I know now, that I definitely dont have the mentality of a kid

It took years for me to realize that.
