Certain Age

My friend wrote a poem for class but she needed me to type it 'cause her wrists are badand she's forbbiden by the doc. to type. So I typed it up... but It wasn't very good..... So I rewrote it... so It's actually my poem now. Although I tried to keep the same thoughts and put into what she was tryng to say. Here it be lol


Growing up is so hard
It’s the furthest thing from a Fairy Tale.
Times spent worrying about love now seem so senseless
When of a certain age.
A time when all is shown to you
When none was shown to me.
The feeling: confusion and pain.
The thought of knowing…
Locked up in a place inside my mind
Hiding, consumed within my deepest desires
My most wondrous dreams
But… as everyone knows…
We can’t live in a Fairy Tale world
Where everything ends up just right.
Now everything is shown to me
As I am of certain age
And this process now starts for another.
And they’ll never know as it happens
It’s normal.
