Twenty
I never thought a number would throw me into a rollercoaster of emotions
Twenty
Was my age when life gives me flying kisses of ruination
All the feelings that I kept in the back of my heart
Provoked by a number
Twenty
Was the day I witnessed my own death
In front of the mirror I keep convincing myself
that it is all fine
Its alright
Twenty
As I swallow the pill that my shadow gave me
I choked
I laughed
I tasted my own tears
"bittersweet" I told myself
only the hands of despair is there to help
I touched it's cold palms
And left my soul frozen and somber
My feet can no longer feel and wander
Twenty
Please tell me
How to stop a number
How can it be a dagger
How can twenty be a melancholy's epitome
