A Lot of Things Will Get Right When You're 18
(From a Teen)
“A lot of things will get right when you're eighteen,”
said a teen.
But who's gonna tell her that's a fantasy?
That eighteen is just a number,
ranked a little higher than the others?
Who's gonna inform her
that the path remains the same,
just a little less straight?
Who's gonna tell her
that sometimes,
she'll stare at the moon
because she can't look at the stars
without crying?
“A lot of things will get right when you're eighteen,”
she said.
But nobody told her
that the right things
are always on the left...
