Thoughts on Growing Up

Where I am


When it’s my birthday,
I’ll go buy a jar of pickles.
I’ll find my mother just like the little bird in that old children’s book.

When I go off on my own, I’ll struggle with finances due to a certain lip gloss addiction.

When I find the one, I’ll be more than blushing, and I might finally be happy.

When I have children, I’ll change the world. I’ll send someone into the world that I hope will be better that I ever was.

And when I see everything happen, my little nephew get married, and my daughter get her heart broken, I’ll cry.

When I finish my days, I hope they will have been more than I ever dreamed.

And when I finish this poem, I’ll be stressed about the future.

When I finish this poem, I’ll be happy to be where I am.
