Where I am…

I am at a point in my life that’s a new experience

I have to decide where I am going and who I want to be

I will face challenges of all sorts, some greater than others

I will experience love, hate, betrayal, and loyalty

I will battle for truth, and hope not for lies

Where I am is 16

The point in life, where everything starts to get confusing

Some will be sucked in by fashions, trends, and what’s “cool”

Some will stand strong and independent

Others will cower away scared to face reality

Where I am is a teenager

I roam the crowded hallways not seeing faces

I jump from class to class not even noticing the journey

I laugh with friends, while wondering what they really think of me

Where I am is High school

I constantly think of the memories

Back when all that mattered was cartoons and what’s in your lunch that day

I miss their presence, although sometimes it was unwanted

I miss car rides where we’d constantly fight, but have fun at the same time

Where I am is the youngest in my family

I feel pain and I ponder life and death

Where I am is life.
