"adult Life"

summer is fading
leaves are changing
i hear the laughter of children daily
as they wait for the bus
some are going back to school
but not all of us
i have no idea what i want to be
i still have no job
even though i am 18
i feel like my life has suddenly stopped.
like the rain falling from a cloud
and the time i have left
is like the one last drop
i have so much deciding i still have to do
i have so many choices
and yet i still have no clue
so i guess i will wait for the right time to come
when its more work
and not always fun
thats when i know
my adult life has begun!
