Coming of Age

I cried myself to sleep last night over this.... I need help.

We all have a time when we must leave our nest

A time when we must rise up from our mothers chest

We try to stay home and try to protest

This is the end of childhood and beginning of our lengthy unrest

We must leave the place where we once dreamed 

A place where we and our friends once schemed

But in the end that feels like a daydream

Now adults, our childhood we have failed to redeem

10th birthday party feels like a life ago

But you must go and be molded like dough

To find what you believe and what you should forgo

You sit thinking, tears in your eyes

As you watch your whole childhood begin to die

A new life has begun, and don't let it drift away

Author's Note

I tried to rhyme, so don't hate me for it. I am not the best, but hopefully it is okay. Please review! I love feedback!

The nostalgia of youth now gone as the next stage of life is now ready to take center stage. A very well written and sentimental poem Great work Allaura. A eloquently unique write & read.
