Seventeen

Weird,

I just had to laugh

It made me less scared;

Just a seventeen year old

Almost an upper middler

Transitioning into the responsibilities

Of war.

Soon to be soldiers

No longer lower status

Now,

We have earned respect.

Concentration and excitement

We were maturing,

Tasks were hardening

Like jumping,  

From tree to tree,  

Only traveling further

From games we had played;

Tag

It’s your turn to go,

Time for war soldier.
