Welcome me, Adulthood, I have ventured <br />through childhood with all the wonders and dangers in it. <br /> <br />I have placed my childhood fantasies aside, <br />and picked up hopes of becoming who I want to be. <br /> <br />Embrace me knowledge, <br />I am ready to know more and add to what I know already. <br />I have conquered my fear of the night, <br />now I only fear of becoming nothing. <br />I have stopped pretending to be what I thought I was going to be, <br />and realized that I am only what I make of myself. <br /> <br />I have come down from the land of make-believe, <br />and I have found the strength to believe in me. <br />So when I come upon you, open your arms, <br />and welcome me, Adulthood, <br />for I am headed your way.<br /><br />aashka thakkar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/welcome-me-adulthood/
