Laying, staring at the wall.
I can feel myself starting to fall,
fading,
no time for contemplating,
who I was,
who I am,
I'm just a kid,
a child,
with an imagination gone wild.
falling slowly in to the path of an adult.
it's something, that for once, isn't my fault.
I'm just a kid.
time to grow up,
time to hold on,
to my time that's now gone.
so long.

&ldquo;Gods of Olympus.&rdquo; Piper stared at Leo. &ldquo;What happened to you?&rdquo;<br /> His hair was greased back. He had welding goggles on his forehead, a lipstick mark on his cheek, tattoos all over his arms, and a T-shirt that read HOT STUFF, BAD BOY, and TEAM LEO.<br /> &ldquo;Long story,&rdquo; he said.&rdquo;

This is an amazing poem! It shows the difficulty on the transition form kid to "adult". Great job!
