They tell you to grow up
As if that alone could make you invincible
They speak of adulthood
As if it alone brought freedom
And you spend your life thinking
That a number means so much more
But I have come to realize
Growing up means fighting harder battles
And no, you're not invincible
Adulthood, 18, 21
Is just a number if you
Never learned how to be free inside

True, age is just a number. It doesn't make one wiser. Wisdom comes with inner peace, inner freedom.

True.Growing up Within can only make one Invincible!
Nicely put in words.
Been telling the same thing to students who come to me with teenage problmes thinking adulthood will mean everything is fine.
Beautiful poem. <3
Isn't this the truth. Very well said. Numbers are nothing.
so true....deep feelings...so nice!
Just a number... you are right. My view? As the numbers get larger, wisdom and personal evolution advance, if we are living an attentive life.
After 57 years I have to agree with Kim. But I also agree that the battles can seem overwhelming.
I like the twist at the end. Interesting poem.
I like the twist at the end, it makes your point well.
This is really powerful and so well put across too. I like the way you weaved such a powerful message around the "age is just a number" adage.
