Yay! Im 19 but it doesn't feel any different

Just an extra year on this beautiful Eart I have spent

Im thankful to see yet another year go by

I have yet been a woman but am finally going to try

19 on my birth certificate, 17 in the mind

Thats not something to be proud of, my maturity is what im trying to find

I've missed all the parties and high school experiences

But its okay because now im searching finding why it is that I exist 

19 years its been for me..19 whole years

Throughout those years I've share smiles but definitely more tears

Its tie to have something to call my own not something just for show

Something I feel passionately for something I do well and I know

My heart tells me one thing but my mind tells me something different

It's time to change , stop being rebellious and difinitely stop resistin'

Poetry is what I love to do

Not acting fast is past overdue

From here on out this is my life

And this time around i refuse to let it pass me by like sleep throughout the night
