Not yet an adult ,
No longer a child.
I stand here at the fence.
Remembering the whispers of yesterday.
Listening to my laughter,
Listening to my play.
Facing the unknown future,
and only wanting to stay
Behind me is the happiness I've known.
Playing games like mother may I,
or hide and seek with my friends.
No cares, worries, or sorrows
In front of me stands the darkness,
the unknown, the loss of innocence,
the slow growing realization of
my life being changed rapidly forever.
I have no choice I must move forward.
Leaving behind my childish ways.
Having to cross over into the darkness.
Unsure of each step I stand to take.
Here, at the fence,
we are too old to play games,
yet too young to understand,
what we are heading into.
