Neither and both
I am not a child,
I am not an adult.
I am, however, both.
A child, innocent and naive.
An adult, responsible and mature.
But I am trapped,
right in between,
in a place where I am neither and both,
a child and an adult.
I am a child,
told what to do and how to be.
I am an adult,
expected to know what is best for me.
But I am neither,
child nor adult,
as I don't listen to what I'm told,
and I don't know what is best for me.
And for now, that is fine,
since I am only a child,
and not yet an adult.
