I in fact Did not rule the world when I was 19. I did not Know everything. I was not The ruler of my own kingdom; I was just a serf In someone else’s. I came out of Neverland And knew I needed to grow up. Because I was not the one Who wouldn’t. Life became A learning experience Rather than that Which I’ve already conquered. Secret spider solitaire Behind the desk. Discovering Heartache And Heartburn. Realizing I can’t love like I’m 19 anymore. And I can’t eat like I’m 19 anymore either. Lord of the Rings soundtrack Just to remember What hope sounds like. Loving my bed For engulfing me in a duvet But hating it For eyes that won’t sleep Like It’s laughing at me While my exhausted body Lays awake in paralyzing insomnia. I think the most adult decision I can make is admitting I want to escape with you to a place where we can both be 19 forever.
