Eighteen

Eighteen, Comes after seventeen, And comes before nineteen, Basically I just want you to know, Eighteen is just a number, My attitude was the same at seventeen, And the will be the same at nineteen, So why throw in my face each time that i do something, You think you are grown, Because that's not it, I knew right from wrong at a very young age, I was a kid so yes, We messed up, But OMG i don't do things because i think i'm grown, Yes when i was young i said that i wanted to move at eighteen, But that's what every child dreams of pursuing to, They think they will have a better chance at doing things at eighteen, Than doing them young, Which they do, But the consequences are more revealing as well, I can't wait until i reach nineteen, Maybe i will stop hearing this talk about eighteen, The number eighteen is giving me a headache, Signed, Vernard L.
