Adulting
I’m grown
I gotta live life on my own
I have my own house
That I own
Adulting is what I need to learn
From whom?
Did my life prepare me for the doom
Of debt and student loans
Maybe one day I’ll own a home
Not just rent
And pay back what was lent
Is this hole too deep
Or just shallow to the feet
I’ve waited for this moment
To be independent
The greatest gift but worst treasure
The pleasure of loneliness in cold cold weather
Adulting is not emptiness
It’s handling business
Time to trade my dolls
For dogs
Being grown is inevitable
But being alone isn’t
Value every second
Make it time well spent
I once wished to grow old
I’m sure I’ll wish to grow young
When my teeth are rotten
And I’m left with gums
