Today I am Thirteen
But I am also 12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
Inside of me
In hard times, all those years spill out

13 is when you start preparing for jobs
And not excited about bills
Or high school
That is what is bad about being thirteen

When you are young you have little responsibilities
That changes when you get to be thirteen
You are fronted with more responsibilities
You have to make priorities when you become 13

In hard times you may need all of those years inside of you
13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
And when you do
Be expecting of them
They will shine out

13 is when you need to become more like an adult
13 is when you are scared of adulthood
13 is being 13 years in this world
13 is hoping you have a lot more years left to live
13 is also 12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
