I'm twenty now, what does this mean?
No longer can I be a teen?
Am I too old or am I too young?
Mapping out life is not very fun.
I wanna be thirteen, careless and bold.
I wanna be fourteen, don't do what I'm told.
I wanna be fifteen, re-live my first kiss.
I wanna be sixteen, drivers ed I don't miss.
I wanna be seventeen, hopeful and free.
I wanna be eighteen, the worlds mine to see.
I wanna be nineteen, college parties galore.
I don't wanna be twenty no more.

Twenty is hard, I have to figure out me
life is my canvas; what will I paint?
twenty is full of responsibilities
So don't grow up too fast; just wait.

--Alana

Laney~
A good message in this, indeed.
One should never be in too big a hurry to grow up.
It will come soon enough, and with it, all the
responsibilities and decisions that life brings.
You've expressed it well...nicely done.

I enjoy being fifteen, but if life gets beeter as I go on, I won't miss it one bit. Good write.

Love conquers all, so I must be in a losing battle.
