Twenty three.

Twenty three. When did we become grown? I never noticed the seeds of the cynic being sown. Twenty three. When did we become safe? We pray to feel pleasure and hate when we have to feel pain. We pretend when we find the end of ourselves. Afraid to be real so we say that we’re somebody else. Finally. I can see with your eyes. That everyone angry is only just aching inside. Twenty three. When the sun sets tonight. There’s always a reason we just cannot leave it behind.

I turn twenty three in minutes. I hope I can leave it behind.
