Coming of Age:

Maturity, accountability, growing up

came at me all at once

some of the things I had said, I would never do, I did

I crossed my boundaries and reset them

what felt right was and now I feel more comfortable in my self, health, body, and mind

Dealt with highs and lows, I was never alone

Miscommunication, fights, stress, and anger filled the room from corner to corner

joy, warmth, and comfort, wrapped me like a human blanket. I overstayed my welcome.

Stepped outside of my comfort zone, no regrets

things have settled down now I'm moving forward

the things I've learned include taking care of myself, peace, and spirit

Most importantly how to stand and protect my ground.

Nasty Nineteen coming up soon, then 20, 21, then the moon

figuring out what kind of adult to be

the role models I used to have aren't close to me

confident in my myself, my mind, and heart

figuring out life on my own that's where I'll start

For right now, the upcoming months

let your skin glow, dopamine run high

get that bag from school and work and let life take its course.
