Welcome to Gaia! ::

I wrote this when I was a senior in High school.

Maturity

Today I seemed to mature a little, It came out of nowhere.
I looked at my reflection and thought,
‘Where has the little child inside me gone?’
High school now seems too cramped for me,
A senior.

No one seems to feel the same way.
I see the less-matured, and think,
‘Will their childish ways ever leave them?’
This school seems to be filled to the brim,
With over-dramatic prom queens and boys with small penises.
And even though this school is quite open,
The words ‘queer’ and ‘f**’ seem to flow freely,
And those who are smarter than others seem to be deaf and dumb.

So even though I’ve matured past all the others,
I’ll be spending the very last few months of my childhood here.
And when I leave, I’ll drop a memory or two,
So that others might come to realize what I have realized in these past four years.

That childhood is a bunch of bullshit,
Swimming with stories of magical beings and peace.
And to get out of high school is like setting yourself free,
Only to come back in five years and brag about what you’ve achieved since then.
