Nineteen

     Turning 19?

            It's too fast

        I've waited for this moment, what about you?

        Are you a little scared? Or are you excited?

        To be honest, it hurts to send you away

        Every time the day went by slowly

        I prayed for it to pass by quickly

        But right now I feel the opposite

        I'd like for this moment to stop for a bit

        Time don't stay here, go somewhere else

        One, two, three, once again back to the 13

        Now the way I talk has gotten more mature

        It's a bit unfamiliar but I walk around like I'm confident

        But I'm like a middle school student who's acting as an adult

        I'm still immature and I just can't get used to it

        The hours after 10pm that I've gotten close with

        The signs that don't allow minors don't relate to me anymore

        But my dad and mom still look at me like a kid

        And strangely this is something I'm still used to

        Pay attention how old are you now that you’re still asking for            the impossible

        Soon I'll have to take off my name tag as a teenager

        This should be good enough

        Continue on naturally, don't be uncomfortable

        Everybody was like this too

        Twenty years old that I wanted to become so badly

        Did everybody go through this same experience or am I the only         one

        That's anxious?

        Not even other people, but people close to me

        Like my mom, dad, and brother

        Did they spend this day like this too?
