The Nineteenth Year

[Mysticalis]

Eighteen years spent
Alive in passivity
A quiet shadow in society
Often seen yet never noticed
Eighteen years spent
Outside looking in
Detached from the world
Like a severed arm from a squid
Eighteen years spent
A silent presence
Like a breeze of wind
Often felt yet seldom heard
The nineteenth year has passed
The silence is gone
The obsucrity has vanished
The shadow has stepped off the wall
I am now aware
Of my presence
Of my influence
Of my power, over others and myself
The nineteenth year has passed
I have stepped out of the unknown
And my power will grow
As the twentieth year approaches

Glad you could relate to it Mell. I've been coming into my own lately and it's gotten a lot of attention, from both my parents and friends, both mine and my bro's.
Lol, my bro's friends no longer refer to me as "Gabe's brother" and that's something I'm glowin' about. I hated it when they did that. Btw, I looked up in a name dictionary that Robert meant one with bright fame. Who knows, maybe this the first step towards living out my name and having a bright future, so long as I don't get bigheaded about it.
