Coming of Age
November 18, 2015
Driver’s licenses, speeding tickets, life in the fast lane
Full of responsibility, difficulty, and the possibility of being a little vain
It’s a time of puberty, discovery, and the future
A time for many heartbreaks that can only be cured with a suture
Sometimes when a mirror is your only friend
Right until the bitter end
But don’t be scared or hide
Because it’s only a matter of time for it all to subside
So when you look in the mirror and ask who you see
Is it in someone you can believe?

My creative writing teacher gave us ten themes to choose from and one included "Coming of Age". I felt that I could connect with this theme in a personal way. I hope people take away that the poem is about finding yourself and accepting yourself as you are.
