I Have.

When I was ten I learned of ends.

I moved away from my best friends.

My eyes were dry, they said "goodbye"

That was the hottest day in July.

Since then I have made my amends.

Have I changed? Well, that depends.

When I was twelve I learned of art.

Expression that has shown my heart.

I met a girl, her name forgotten.

Her voice was soft and just like cotton.

I left again, and said "farewell,"

Have I matured? I do not dwell.

Now I'm eighteen, a full adult.

I have learned that change is abrupt.

Love and loss, I've seen almost all.

Again, I am prepared to fall.

Have I grown up? Yes, all in all.
