Laying, staring at the wall.
I can feel myself starting to fall,
fading,
no time for contemplating,
who I was,
who I am,
I'm just a kid,
a child,
with an imagination gone wild.
falling slowly in to the path of an adult.
it's something, that for once, isn't my fault.
I'm just a kid.
time to grow up,
time to hold on,
to my time that's now gone.
so long.

“Gods of Olympus.” Piper stared at Leo. “What happened to you?”
His hair was greased back. He had welding goggles on his forehead, a lipstick mark on his cheek, tattoos all over his arms, and a T-shirt that read HOT STUFF, BAD BOY, and TEAM LEO.
“Long story,” he said.”

This is an amazing poem! It shows the difficulty on the transition form kid to "adult". Great job!
