Not even 18 She told me to sleep on the streets “time to be an adult” Jobs and school are not cool Dreams and ambitious cannot take flight But there’s no point in a fight So I try with all my might Sleeping on the steps Working 8 hours shifts School is a gift No time to drift Not even 18 Yet I’ve aged far beyond my years all in one night.

Not even 18
Not even 18 She told me to sleep on the streets “time to be an adult” Jobs and school are not cool Dreams and ambitious cannot take flight But there’s no point in a fight So I try with all my might Sleeping on the steps Working 8 hours shifts School is a gift No time to drift Not even 18 Yet I’ve aged far beyond my years all in one night.
Life is a little more complicated then this, but whatever..
