It Was As If...

It was as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. It was as if I was just let out of prision which I had been with-held i for 16 of the longest years for something I had no control. I felt like I had just been freed for the first time in my entire life. I had dreamt of this day, while watching everyone else, one by one, slowly gaining their freedom, it was cruel and unusual punishment. But it didn't matter anymore. I had it now, it was mine to, I felt like a real adult, for the first time in my life, I was free. Getting my license was my get out of jail card, and I'm never going back in.
