And as I grow older,

I learn to forgive and forget

if needed.

Adulthood fastly approaching as

fear and panic

take over.

I relish the feeling,

but also petrified of it.

Part of me aches to be free,

to be my own person.

But the other part wants to go back

to childhood,

where I hide under the covers since

the storm scares me.

Where horror movies and monsters

under my bed were my biggest

problems.

It is no longer that way.

Now my biggest fears are if I will get

home okay,

biggest problems will be getting an

apartment, making a living.

Adulthood is nearly here,

am I truly ready for it?

-A.C.B.
