Immature Me
They say the cause of this pain is my maturity,
or the lack of.
What they don't understand is that I'm ONLY 14.
I have plenty of time, I'm not ready to grow up just yet.
All the other teens cant wait to be 18.
I can.
i just want to live my teen life as a teen living life.
I dread the day i have to all of a sudden be an "adult".
I dread having all the responsibility on me.
I can definitely wait to be able to do what i want,
if it means giving up living the way i live.
An adult means bills, and a job to pay them.
It means spending less days so carefree,
and more worrying about taxes,
and my children,
and the phone bill.
It means balancing EVERYTHING
and still try to have time for me,
without having much success.
being an adult brings more worries
and more responsibility.
I can barely handle the responsibilities I have NOW!!
but i guess thats my immaturity speaking.
we all have to grow up sometime.
But growing up now looks like no fun at all.
i think ill just deal with the pain.
Its just another thing to procrastinate.
For now I'm just living life day by day,
being the only thing I can be.
14 year old, immature me.

Heh you just remember, there is a difference between being 'young' and being 'immature'. You are v mature, young miss ;)
There are some good insights in these lines - and I think that is one of the things I like best about your poetry, you are insightful. About yourself. About your life.
I know I am... somewhat mature... I have my times like everyone else when I'm immature.. but what inspired me to write this was I was talking to this guy about one of my poems... lessons learned... and he told me that the reason for most of the stupid drama, and problems I have been plunged into is because of my maturity, or the lack of. It just got me to thinking that if growing up means getting rid of all this crap, then ok I want to grow up... but then I thoguht more and I'm like... no. I like the way I am.. idk.. just something that kinda made me think... a lot. lol
thanks again for sticking around and helping me with what I need help with, and encouraging me. Sometimesis just what someone encouragement needs :)
