Oh, to be 13 again.Stupid as ever I guessOr could I keep my knowledge?And shy clear of cooties?Or maybe get even more?They told me I was ugly back thenPictures bear them out(Now they get long in toothThose who still remain)Still, I looked better than nowI was not vain,for I had no causeMy mirror fixed that errorI wonder if my feelings would still be so tenderWould I be able to shut my mouth?Would I even know to strike the first blowWhen the cruel would do their worst?13?I do not know, why not 12 or 18 or so?I’ve seen the world for good and illI would keep that even still

At 13 I always seemed to have a fat lip. I climbed everything in sight and was clumsy

I’d never go back to 13. Worst year of my life.

Being 13… thankfully, I have forgotten all about it!

For girls, 13 is the start of the yo-yo years: 10 going on 20
