7-year-old me began elementary
i was not an equation you can solve
i did not play
i did not complain
instead i read and studied
10-year-old me started fourth grade
i was not an equation you can solve
i did not have sleepovers
i did not live in a fairytale
instead i observed
13-year-old me hit puberty
i was not an equation you can solve
i did not cry
i did not scream
instead i hid my dreams
15-year-old me is facing highschool
i am not an equation you can solve
i am not making excuses
i am not sensitive
instead i am wishing
i am wishing for society to stop making life into an equation
i am wishing for society to stop telling me to go to college at 18
i am wishing for society to stop telling me to get married before 30
i am wishing for soceity to stop making me into a person i am not ready for
i am wishing for soceity to stop making fun of me because i am different
i am who i am
i grow at my own pace
time does stop and wait for the world to grow up
so how come time can't stop and wait for me to grow up?
what happened to freedom? what happened to joy and happiness? do they deserve to be taken out of the equation because they value less than success?
what happened to me? am i allowing people to enforce this equation on me? on everyone else?
