Turning 18 (Billy Collins)


Everything has changed.

We feel our freedom, but not without sadness.

Our world changes rapidly and we start to feel the ageing.

We are no longer pure souls with naive minds.

We are the next wave of the future fast approaching our shove into the world.

Jobs, Payments, School, Future plans all the toil and battle of our futures..

Ingrained into us and stressed of its overbearing importance to our life.

No longer are we care free, no longer do our souls look ageless.

Observing the younger generation is refreshing.

Reminds of when things like recess and lying awake for nap time seemed important.

We all have our regrets but we can’t go back now.

We are pushing into the world head first.


Be ready to jump instead of fall.
