License
I wake up the morning of my sixteenth birthday,
excited and ready,
Mom picks me up,
to go to the courthouse,
where I sign and
am photographed.
Excited and fearless,
feeling grown up and nervous.
We arrive home to see my little green cavalier,
warming breeze of spring all around me.
I can now drive on my own,
I’m ready for anything.
I start my car,
excitedly grip the wheel,
to begin my drive.
This was the moment,
I first realized,
I can drive where I want…
alone.

I like how you captured the feeling of independence that you have when you first get your license. I also like how you added some of the feelings of uncertainty and nervousness that go along with it!
