eighteen

march.14.2001

Now I'm eighteen,
I'm off on my own.
Now is the time,
For all I've been shown.

I take full control,
Of my live lived this way.
I leave all behind,
I set forth for the day.

Now I'm eighteen,
It's lonely and cold.
I feel like myself,
Although I've been told.

I feel like a kid,
but then I do not.
I want to break out,
And give it no thought.

Now I'm eighteen,
It's time to move on.
I tell them goodbye,
And soon I'll be gone.
