Here we are We have finally made it At this fine hour we cross over We are no longer part of the group known as minors Now in the state's eyes we are “adults” But are we really ? No, we are not. I cannot possibly feel like an adult for I can not behave like one People still say “hey kid” People deny me from buying my own cigarettes But if I'm still a kid then why am I working as hard as my parents? Why am I living on my own in my mother's home? Why am I allowed to enjoy other people but not enjoy a smoke once in awhile? Why am I able to give my life for this country but not buy a drink? If we sit here and think About what it means to be eighteen We soon we will see That there really is no meaning.
One night I fully realised that I was no longer a kid legally but still felt like it due to the ******* laws that permit me from acting any age above 17.
