“Eighteen”
I am becoming a woman of age.
I have just but turned eighteen today, so
Now I am forced to prance about onstage
Like some prized cow at a county fair. Oh!
But to be simple seventeen again
And hide away in shadows forgotten
I’d love to find myself carefree and zen
Yet, now my lost childhood has rotten
My adulthood now newly begotten
