How

Childhood to adulthood
In a blink of an eye
Here I am still 
Wondering how, when, and why.

From playing and fighting
And having imaginary friends
To having responsibilities
And problems that never end.

From crying to mom and dad
And having everything your way
To having a therapist
And going to work everyday.

From elementary to middle
To high school and college
As you get older
You start to question your college.

As a teen I speak for both 
Cause in ways I’m still a child
And in other ways I am an adult
No matter what, I think life is wild.
