It's hard to reconcile
with the fact that,
unfortunately,
I've become an adult
How? I do not know
I don't understand the milestones
that mark that change
Legally, I turned into one
almost three years ago
but nothing changed
I don't smoke, so no convenience was added
I voted: even though I only knew
who I didn't want in office
(she's pro horse slaughter, who'd want that?)
In less than a month I can buy myself a drink
but that doesn't mean much to me
and I don't plan on being an alcoholic
at any point and time
But somehow
I started paying bills
and buying groceries
and worrying about my credit, and a 401K
Somehow,
there is a 5'3" grownup
looking at me in the mirror
who doesn't want to grow up.
