18
is a strange age
it's still in the teens
but old enough to pay Taxes
They say i can't Drink or Smoke
but boys my age
have to sign up for War if they are Needed
and can Die on the Battlefield
A Grown Man
Twice my age
can Flirt with me
Take me Home
Sleep with Me
but i can't flirt
with a guy
who's two years younger
too young to have the Benefits
of being an Adult
too Old to live like a kid
sheesh, this sucks
i hate to be 18
