how is it that i remain alone untouched by the heat, yet my heat does not touch you and the embarrassment that shall live inside me forever what have i done for this? alternative is going to a nightclub only to be turned away at the door, not because of the dress code but because i am STILL too young, i get upset because 18 so far hasn't brought me any perks, i wait for this summer, there will be no restraint placed upon me, no long-awaited rides in the paddy-wagon, i am still single, against my will, but i have a strong mind, which is good and bad, and i watch as the injustice is served to me and mine by those with closed minds and stupid expressions, and for a moment i want to act like a child, but i realize that option is closed, and i have nothing to do, nowhere to stand.

my 18th birthday
