Is this what you wanted?
When I was younger I would always complain how I wanted to be an adult
In result I realized that was the last thing I wanted to do
For me and for you
Why you
I was defiant and wanted things my way and I hurt you
I was one of the kids who could not get a clue
When to calm down
When to embrace life
When to stay a kid when I needed to
College
Is where I’ll be going now
And it’s not as easy as it sounds
The things I wanted back then
Now I will not allow
For myself to put others down
I wasn’t a bully to others
I was a bully to my grandma and my mother
Even now I’m nervous to write a paper
AKA the stapler that would help me with my financial need
So please accept my apology
Mother please forgive me
I am getting better can’t you see
I am better than I was
Was better I will be
The last thing I want to say to the old me
The adult life isn’t what it seems
