becoming an adult

When do you grow up and what’s its result?
Better question, what decides that you’re an adult?
Some people say paying taxes, getting your license, finishing school…
…drink at the bar, be in the jury, or finally move.
The summer before
I’m getting all these chores.
Only picking up after me? That’s no more.
Now it’s everyone's which bores.
I remember growing up,
Hoping to be Sixteen.
Thinking I'd receive all the Success,
Romance, and more Respect than
when I was Fifteen.
But by the time I came to age
Glass clouded with Hemlock's breath,with a crunch I step untoand revel in the sight of deathso sweet, compared to bitter you.
