Balance

Grow up, they say
Start taking responsibility for yourself
Be extraordinary
But don't stress
And when you finally learn
To be a stress-free extraordinary responsible
Grown-up,
Just stay little, they say
I remember when your tiny foot
Could fit in the palm of my hand
Life goes fast
So enjoy your childhood
And when you learn to be a
Respobsible, child-like, extraordinary, stress-free
Individual,
Please tell me how you possibly managed
To do all that
Because so far
I still have no idea.

I took a creative writting class this year and as our final we had to be, well, creative. Our assignment was an entire poetry portfolio, but this particular poem spawns directly from the challenge to be creative while juggling 5 other AP finals.
