I am back, in the body of a soon to be 23 year old, I am free as a bird, but feel trapped, like a caged lion. Is this all to a simple womans life? Bills, stress, sleepless nights, work? Repeat steps 1,2,3,4 untills death? As I lay in bed, my mind runs around my past. My friends, My family, My youth, My liberty. I look young, but act as if I'm retired and dying. I took advantage of what i had, i miss that place of being a child and not worrying. Beer is now my friend. Sleep is now my secret pleasure. I wish i had a how to be adult book. Thank you

Adulthood?
I am back, in the body of a soon to be 23 year old, I am free as a bird, but feel trapped, like a caged lion. Is this all to a simple womans life? Bills, stress, sleepless nights, work? Repeat steps 1,2,3,4 untills death? As I lay in bed, my mind runs around my past. My friends, My family, My youth, My liberty. I look young, but act as if I'm retired and dying. I took advantage of what i had, i miss that place of being a child and not worrying. Beer is now my friend. Sleep is now my secret pleasure. I wish i had a how to be adult book. Thank you
