Turning Ten

Billy is talking about growing up and how when we were kids that we could do anything because we believed in our minds but as you grow older that it fades away and you have to become more serious about stuff. He captures his childhood by describing specific events such as "I could make myself invisibleby drinking a glass of milk a certain way." then the process of growing up he describes as sad and dark such as "This is the beginning of sadness, It seems only yesterday I used to believe
there was nothing under my skin but light.If you cut me I could shine.But now when I fall upon the sidewalks of life,I skin my knees. I bleed." this fits into my own life because growing up you have to worry about stuff that as kids you never had to care about like jobs money and bills. I feel the same sadness that he is desbring because as a kid i could go out for hours on end and imagine stuff but now i have work for hours on end.
