Eighteen By Elisabeth Butler
March 5, 2020
Waking up in my soothing white room
It felt like my life had gone by in a zoom
I was already turning eighteen
I felt like I should spread the word and make a scene
But seriously, where had the time gone?
Eighteen meant that I would be moving on
But inside I felt like I was just turning three
When life was simpler and everything was low key
Sounds of honking and crowds of people
The city holds so much opportunity
But there I was, apart from the unity
One day I’d become a part of the crowd
Hoping to become successful and make my parents proud
