I am a man,
37 is my age,
I remember back to my early twenties,
When I was first called a man.
I felt free,
On my own,
A new person.
Being a man comes with responsibility,
I have no guidance,
I have to be mature,
Be a role model,
Be my own person,
But, I guess that is what makes me a man.
As a boy you are told who to love,
You live your whole childhood receiving love,
So inevitably,
You give some back.
Now that I am free, I am free to love,
And I can love with my heart,
And choose who likes me for me, as my parents did.
I wish to have fun and hang out with my friends,
I wish I was a kid again…
I am a boy,
I am 13,
I feel old,
As a teen, I should be able to choose my own path,
Follow my own rules,
I’m restricted,
Stuck with the same old rules,
It’s like my age never strayed from 12.
Being a teen is tough,
I’m supposed to take everything so seriously,
All the adults think school is
The most important thing for a kid.
We just want to relax, hang back and have fun.
I’ve out grown the “child playing on the playground” days.
I am ready to step up,
I am ready to be a man.
37 is my age.

first of all this is amazing! really descriptive and meaningful.
a little bit confusing with the i am 37 and then you go to i am 13 and then back to 37.. that part was hard to understand but i get what you where trying to get at. but it would be better if you could make it a bit more clear.
you used great words and i dont think you shuld take any out.
good to speak about the responsibilities and everything about being mature and acting your age and stuf like that...
anyways.
i thought that was great!
great work austin
