Word: Adult

I 
never
realized
that life would be
so difficult, but
somehow, I managed to
make it through and still live on.
Is that what makes me an adult? 
Or am I still the child you once knew?
Like that baby you held in your arms once,
I am still here, marking my name in time. 
While it may be difficult to live,
I smile at the path I’ve walked.
While roads intersect without
logic to them, “Hello!”
I see age doesn't 
define adults,
learning from
mistakes
does.
