[NaPoWriMo Poetry- 16] “An Odd Case”

I am an odd case,

a boy without an age.

for my life so trifling,

my birth date unrecorded.

Within myself, I swim

in the fountains of youthfulness.

I feel like a child,

an accidental miracle.

They say I am not,

I am above fourteen,

right fit to work.

They speak legally,

I speak emotionally.

Who is lying?
