I can't fathom the thought of today
The immaturities of yesterday
Linger in my mind as I think
Of adulthood just around the corner

I can't fathom the thought of today
For yesterday held cherished memories
That are cemented in my heart
I'm reluctant to move on

I can't fathom the thought of today
The responsibility of tomorrow
Weighs heavily as I contemplate
The journey that is to come

I can't fathom the thought of today
When tomorrow is the first day
The world decides I am ready
For the privilege of being on my own

I can't fathom the thought of today
For tomorrow holds fear and uncertainty
As I become a year older
An age of independence

I can't fathom the thought of today
There is too much promise in tomorrow
I will be eighteen, so many thoughts
On the age that changes everything

A/N: I'm actually not eighteen until November but it's something I've been thinking about lately and how much just one day changes everything and changes the responsibility put upon you as an individual. By the way, I'm always looking for more things to read on wattpad, so if you have any suggestions or want me to read something of yours I would love to! Just message me or comment something and I would be happy to read it. So yeah, thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed it :)
