I'm 18 now, 

But the new question is how?

 

How am I going to fit in this new world, 

A world where expectations are high, 

And everything you have to buy,

When someone asks me about college I sigh, 

Because I still have to apply,

A world where everyone will eventually die, 

Everyone walks by but no one ever says hi, 

Now that I'm a grown guy,

I am not allowed to cry, 

But I already know failure is a lie, 

I will always try and defy, 

Because I've been twirled,

I've been swirled, 

I've even been hurled, 

But when I'm hurled into the sky, 

I will always fly, 

And to those who forced me to comply, 

To unfair treatment I couldn't deny, 

F ya'll, David Doxtader no longer needs to rely, 

Now I'm my own ally, 

I soon won't need other peoples supply, 

I'm 18 now you don't need spy, 

If you don't agree with what I'm trying to imply, 

Then you can kiss me goodbye, 

This is cut and dry, 

So bye..

I made this Poem on my birthday to give myself some inspiration to take into the new world. I also made this because I thought it would be cool to look back at this poem in 20 years or so and laugh at it. I hope you like this poem, if you do pls leave a like and a vote. Thank you!!!
