When I was a kid, I rushed growing up, learning things
I wanted to be able to do my taxes before I even had a job,
I wanted to be married before I even knew of love and trust.
I remember, peeing in imaginary burning cities made of porcelain,
betting on who would sneeze first with a nose full of feather.
Now I struggle to get out of bed, I find it hard to keep focus,
I've learnt of heartbreak, learnt of drama, learnt of dangers
and although I learnt how to do my taxes, I found no fun
on simplest things, and I am not enjoying growing up as much
As I had expected because....

**Adulthood is like looking both ways before you cross the street
then getting hit by an airplane.
