As I look around 

at all of my fingers and toes 

I begin to see 

Me. 

 

Truly thriving in life 

Watching 

Observing

Listening 

Hoping to begin my future 

by taking the first step 

 

Thinking about my future 

as I grip my steering wheel 

wondering 

How did I get to be so grown up? 

 

Standing in front of the screen 

as the camera goes 

Click! 

I realize that I can finally drive 

and am finally 

16

 

As I watch the sun rise,

I smile 

knowing what my future has in store 

And as I look around 

I see... 

Me.
