I'm not a child no more


I’m not a child no more

 

You wake up realizing you want to get at 7am every day

You wake up wanting to clean your room and make your bed

You wake up wanting to talk to your mother or father about life issues

You wake up knowing you have bills to pay

You wake up knowing you have a job to go to

What really makes you an adult?

Knowing what you want and wanting what you know
