Thirteen

Thirteen

Thirteen was supposed to be special

I waited thirteen years

It came and passed like any day

What I expected wasn't clear

Disappointment wracked my body

I cried so many tears

Thirteen was supposed to make me anew

But by days end I was left to find

That I had wasted thirteen years

Waiting for thirteen

oh, there are so many new numbers, and each more exciting than the last

my oldest turned 13 this year, I hope she wasn't so disappointed

[Wondering Mind]

Still a long way ahead, I hope. Key word is hope.

. oh gosh ... this is absolutely out of this world brilliant, poignant and profound ... those last two lines are so amazingly thought provoking ... we all do this millions of times ... wait like this ... but you expressed it amazingly well ...
