As
a child
I dreamt of
growing up to be
an adult, because
it meant:
Freedom
Nobody
tells me
what to do;
My very own place,
A career too;
It meant:
Control
How deluded was I,
Now, into adulthood,
It means:
Responsibility

I retired from adulthood and gave myself a lifetime vacation on social security. My doctors told me reduced stress from having to work was the best medicine.
