I Still Have a Long Way to Go

Well My Body Says: 16 Years, My Mind Says: Over 20

 Yeah, like the title says, i'm 16 but somehow i can't talk to people my age, i just... don't understand them...

But when i talk to people over 19 years old, I feel "normal" or maybe happy. Sometimes i hate being like this, because you are like the mother of the little kids at school. My parents can't understand that my maturity level is not normal, it's terrible. My mom is a great person, i think she really makes an effort to understand my emotions but my dad... Gosh!!!! I love both of them, i just wish they see the real daughter they have.

I still have a long way to go, but i've run the road of the life... must of the people walk or even stay stuck in one place. But i've always run... now here i am. With a big plan for life that has to wait at least 10 more years.

    Wow. For me I am the opposite. Im physically 24 in 15 days. Mind wise 98% of the time Im 18. I can relate to 18 year olds easier than my physical age group. I look and act like Im 18.

    One or two instances I come across even younger. Im not so much immature, had alot of trauma and such which has left its impact on me. I wonder what things could be like if I experienced it maybe 8 years older. Its interesting to see what things sound like on the other side of the spectrum. I wonder what it could be like from time to time.
