I'm getting older in a few days and I'll be sober sober from the euphoria of disney fantasies and delusions- the delusions kept me going but when reality kicks in, I'll surely discover that delusions are not the solution just a fragile facade. Last week I saw my lost friends so I called my Ma, I couldn’t bear to relive the suicidal fantasies and the drama, even though I'd still prefer the embracing feel of a coma. The smell of a vanilla candle keeps met tight, because being a soon-to-be-adult is a lot to handle. As death is creeping and waiting for an open handle. Maybe because no one has ever told me, that growing up meant losing your loved ones- that growing up means working so hard until your back hurt- that growing up means slowly fading into nothingness- when you feel like your’e running out of time because you have dreams to chase, or maybe I'm just bad a handling these obstacles I'm facing. I thought growing up would be fun but all it's been is pressure, pressure to succeed and be better than my peers, pressure to be a flawless member of society- but no-one said growing up would be fun I thought it would be a walk in the park but in reality, it feels like chasing a running hill. When I was young, I always wanted to grow up so fast, so that I could be an adult and free. Now that I’m older I wish I could go back in time- when I was nothing but a young child yearning to grow up so fast.
