Age defining you.

Age is just a number? Your not an adult until your 18? You are not good enough? You can’t be special?

You wouldn’t understand.
They mock me.

You can’t possibly be more mature than your age.
They mock me.

Your just a child.
They mock me.

Age makes you who you are.
They mock me.

Turn the tables.
Turn the tables.
Turn the tables.

Age is just a number.
Brains develop differently.
Different experiences changes each person.
Some are forced to mature sooner.
For themselves.
For everyone else.
Who says I can’t be more mature than those in my age.
I am more mature.
I dream bigger.
Just as I should, I reach all expectations.
I pass all expectations.
I exceed my own expectations.

Yes each person need different time to became mature. We are not same and we all deserve same respect like a,others. You pointing out strong points of personal developments . Certain age don't make you wiser. Yes people like mocking if someone is not same,when they think you should know now more better etc. I really enjoyed your poetry. I hope you get more reviews then mine. Enjoy here,and welcome to this web site.

the repetitions make your poem very powerful and made me feel like you were very strongly trying to prove your point to those who 'mock you'. I also like how your short sentences kinda create rhythm!

I like where you write "turn the tables" and then you literally turn the overall tone of the piece into a more confidence and strong tone, contrast to the weaker sadder tone from before.

Your passion is the real power in this poem, in structure and words. This is confidence and character in a few artful words. Pure and intense. Nice job. Keep writing. I look forward to reading more.
