Welcome me, Adulthood, I have ventured through childhood with all the wonders and dangers in it. I have placed my childhood fantasies aside, and picked up hopes of becoming who I want to be. Embrace me knowledge, I am ready to know more and add to what I know already. I have conquered my fear of the night, now I only fear of becoming nothing. I have stopped pretending to be what I thought I was going to be, and realized that I am only what I make of myself. I have come down from the land of make-believe, and I have found the strength to believe in me. So when I come upon you, open your arms, and welcome me, Adulthood, for I am headed your way. Looking For: Your lips speak soft sweetness Your touch a cool caress I am lost in your magic My heart beats within your chest I think of you each morning And dream of you each night I think of your arms being around me And cannot express my delight Never have I fallen But I am quickly on my way You hold a heart in your hands That has never before been given away.
