They say that adulthood is not an age
But a stage of knowledge of yourself
What if you don't know who you are
Are you growing old?
What if you are a broken mirror
Held together with only glue
You are lost
Trapped in a haze
Are you growing old?
What if life holds sadness
Where there should be merriment
Sorrow streaks the colors of life
Like rain drizzling down a stained glass window
Are you growing old?
What if you don't know all the answers
Or the meaning of life
And everyone else is growing old
But you are still young

Hey Corrupted Arrow here with a review!
(The Comma Police is here! Anything I say here is just constructive criticism. If I offend you I apologize in advance.(I will try to be humorous.)
Wow! Now to fuss over tonight if I'm really going to become an adult... Anyways you have done really good.
From what I can see you don't have any more grammar and/or comma mistakes. Keep up the writing, have a good day.
Thanks!
This poem is amazing. I have never read something that is so relatable about an adolescent growing up into adulthood. I love how you kept asking the question "Are you growing old?" It kept me wondering if maybe I am really getting older, or maybe I'm not but others around me are so should I start? Your perception of "growing old" is very honest and relatable. I truly loved reading this. The only thing I would recommend is maybe putting the question "Are you growing old?" in italics. I loved your use of figurative language also! My favorite part no doubt is, Sorrow streaks the colors of life Like rain drizzling down a stained glass window" That was just like WOWWWWWW! I aspire to write poems like you! Keep up the amazing work!
Wow! Thanks so much for this great review!
