16, 18, 21
as time pass by
OH LOOK! You've just turned 16
You can drive
get a job
and maybe get that belly button piercing you've always wanted
but still it's not enough.

Rolling two years ahead you're now 18
You ask yourself.
What is there to do now?
You don't feel any ******* different from the other 17 year olds at your school.
But now you can vote, smoke **** legally in two states, and if you're responsible
go ahead take a sip of the alcohol sitting on the table.
Just don't let that Blood Alcohol Content level get higher than a .02
.02...but that's not enough
Weren't you waiting your whole life to feel enough?
To be enough?

Turning 21 the legal level raises up to a .08
But that's not enough.
Because why should you be the responsible one at the frat party?
Why should you settle for some that's not enough?
You're "only 21". Right?

It's good to help a friend out when they're blacked out drunk
with **** drawings on their face.
But what's not good is when you think you can drive them because you had less to drink than you stupid friend in the back of you car.

So as you're heading home
and those street signs that your brain
turned into street lights.
Now you're flooring it, ending your own life
thinking you're stronger than 2 tons of force
being pressed into the front of your 2004 hunk of metal

Hit one
You survived.
Your airbag and seat belt were the only thing
that saved you from the after life
which you thought was more of an after party.
Hit two
There won't a second time
because you're still in a coma getting charged for
second degree ****** of your friend
who was not secured in the back of your car that night.

While you're laying on a hospital bed breathing from a machine on your left
ask yourself
Was that enough?
What is enough to risk everything that was never enough?
In a few weeks
your family will decide to unplug the machine that will keep you from
never being enough ever again.
