Today is the last day of February.
It's really late/early,
I get very ambitious at night,
And now I have an outlet.

I turned 16 a couple of weeks ago.
It was the first time in my life
Where my birthday didn't feel at all special,
Just an ordinary day.
Not many people knew, I didn't go around
Proclaiming it.
I didn't feel like I had too, you know?
Just the few people who checked their Facebook,
Those I mentioned it to,
Remembered.
I was serenaded in English class,
Because we are loud and do things like that.
My sister said she wouldn't text all day for me,
She caved at around 9 at night.
My family came over, I got money and cake.
And then it was done.
I am sixteen.
I did not have a party,
I wouldn't know what to do/who to invite.
I don't feel any different at all,
And it's sad.
Mr. House said wait 'til i get to be his age,
I guess I will.

I got my learner's permit last Wednesday.
I can drive legally.
I cruised the side streets of my neighborhood
Twice,
A cemetery once.
I haven't done any damage yet.
Driving is kind of exhilarating.
Not really the act, but the prospect.
Lately I want to get away all of the time,
Be in motion, unfamiliar territory.
I want to go places, see everything.
I obsess myself with it.
I'm not grounded any longer.

School has swallowed me whole.
I'm trying to find ways
To make it less of a burden,
It is hard for me.
But it gets better day by day,
I just keep waiting.

On weekends, I go to my siblings' events,
Basketball, Boy Scouts.
My sister's team is really good,
They're fun to watch.
Patrick had his last game,
Beat 'em by one point, he was stoaked.

The play is starting this week,
Alice and Wonderland.
I am Humpty Dumpty, which is really interesting,
Actually.
I have no idea what I am going to do,
But it's gonna be fun,
I'll make sure of it.

It is 1:38 A.M.,
I am exhausted.
I hope there's a new episode of Desperate on tonight,
Are the Olympics over?
I've been doing that a lot too,
Olympics.
I luff them,
Every one of those dumb atheletes are awesome,
MHMMPHH.

I conclude.
