Yesterday I turned 18,
A milestone, I suppose.
Yet I feel no different,
No stronger, no more benifited.

All grown up, but still with no clue how.
I should be prepared, ready to see the world.
I'm still unsure of who I am,
Still shady about this whole wide world.

So now what?
Buy a lottery ticket and vote for "dumb or dumber",
It is my generation, we're leading this country,
So now what?

this country is screwed!
Anyways, nice poem, congrats~ c-ya

I can't see at all. Even if I could it would all be great, to put your picture on my wall, it reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad.

Well first off happy belated B-day.
Secondly, nice poem.  I can relate.  "So now what?" pretty much summed up my 18th b-day.  Keep them coming

happy b-day........

and as for your question......."now what?"...
well.........i have no clue myself.
You're not alone...


I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!

I liked how you wrote this.  Birthdays seem to be like that, you don't feel any different. I hope you find something to do next!   Oh yeah, happy birthday!! (I'm just a little late )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!  though i'm a little late

I guess just take it day by day.  Your experiences in life will lead you to what you would wanna do in life.  I got one suggestion, if you're not yet, a good start is going to college

there were some huge changes for me when I hit 18. I started college(whole new world) and  I moved out( taking care of myself-guess I'm not doing a very good job)Once you graduate I think you might start to notice the change a little more.
