im fifteen and two days old
three people asked me where i wanted to go to college
what i wanted to be
i said im only fifteen, don't rush me
and i said it with a smile and a laugh
i didn't say that my biggest hobby
is listening to music
that makes me float away
on a cloud of misplaced nostalgia
my other hobbies including
drawing things that don't belong
flowers on planets, faces on the moon and sun
also reading stories
that take me somewhere i've never been
i wonder what college this will get me into
which job i'll get
because i'm only fifteen and two days
and i don't think i'm supposed
to know
It is fine to just want to be 15. Time enough for all rest to happen around you. My youngest son is 20 and he still doesn't know what he wants to be.
