One month till I turn 18
I still feel like a preteen
I want to be who I want to be
I want to be free

I can't wait to turn 18
No more being treated like a preteen
I'm moving out
The day I turn 18

One week later till I turn 18
Counting down the days
If I don't turn 18 soon
I'm gonna scream

I can't wait to turn 18
No more being treated like a preteen
I'm moving out
The day I turn 18

The day finally came
I'm 18
Dear parents,
I'm moving out
No more having to listen to authorities
I'm getting my own place and my own car
Now I live my own rules
Now I live my own life style
I can drive without supervision
I can go to rated R movies
I can go to college parties
No more curfews
I'm free, I'm 18

I can't wait to turn 18
No more being treated like a preteen
I'm moving out
The day I turn 18

&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;
