Skipped a Step

I feel like I missed something

or the steps got rearranged

I jumped ahead of the game

and completed the requirements

of maturity, almost.

I missed the backing of

the sweet teenage years

with mistakes and tempers rampid

Disobedience, Disrespect

I had none of it

But now, as I displayed some 

younger qualities, you act confused

You see and hold me within

the borders and confines of

a young adult

and a teenage heart

begs to be let free.
