Kid Or Adult

We're only kids

But we need to be

As mature as adults

We're little kids

It's not safe

But we're basically an adult

So we can have adult responsibilities

We can't stay up with friends

But we can if we're watching our siblings

Being their mother or father

We get the downsides of being kids

The downsides of being an adult

Being a kid is fun

When you're not told to act like an adult

Being an adult is nice

When you're not being told you're a little kid

We're kids

Who have to act like

Adults

  • Panic Attacks

    I thought I had gotten better

    Thought I had everything under control

    I have everything under control

    Right?

    I thought they were gone

    But they're right there

    Sitting behind me

    Breathing into my ear

  • Her Hope

    She’s little

    Not even 8

    But she has hope 

    Hope that shines

    Through her blue eyes

    Hope that dances

    Across her face

    Just like how she

    Dances in the rain
