18

The clock of time has spun many a time, and when I woke up this morning it was a shock how fast it had spun. 18 years ago I was born, and now I am here.

I can feel something in the air telling me this year is going to be different. This year something is going to happen, and this year I'm going to have to grow up.

Its not like a had a father figure taking me by the hand and taking me though the trials of childhood. Nor did I have a mother figure to pick me up and dust me off when I fell. All I had was myself. And I feel like that's all I have now. But I wish He were here.

I wish He were with me, to help me grow up. I wish He were with me to take my by the hand. I wish He were there every fall, every tear, and every step I ran away from my mom. I wish I didn't have to forget about Hm every year, it gets so hard.

But from now on it will be different. From now on I'm giving myself a fighting chance at doing something. Doing anything. I'm 18 now and the world is a head at me. It's only a matter of time before I'm an adult demigod, taking the world by storm.

And I've been feeling something inside my head, something telling me these crazy things. Things I don't want to hear, yet I can't help myself from falling in love with his words. With his world.

A world where things make sense, and fate can't screw you over. I world where I can be free of the weight of everyone else's problems, and not have the burden of those who put there's on me. A world where people look up to me, respect me, and I feel like I belong.

This morning I can't help but looking in the mirror, and feeling like everything is going to change. Everything will be different. Things will start to fall into place. I will start to feel in place. I feel like when the hands of time spin yet again, I will look in the mirror and see a different person. As if I am a bird now parched ready for flight, but I will see a phoenix rising up from the ashes.

A year from now, everything will change. I can feel it.
