Adulthood

One more year left of my "childhood"

It ended years ago

yet I'm still trying to grasp it,

as if it's still in my reach,

as if I could turn back time.

Adulthood.

One word that will change my life,

for the better I'm certain.

No more silence,

afraid of my "disobedience" being punished.

No more hiding who I am.

No more.
