I just grew up. Just now. It’s terrible; it’s everything all the children say it is. It’s lonely, it’s boring, it’s cyclical, it’s repetitive. And the worst part is that I was powerless to stop it. I dug in my heels And was dragged by my hair, And still was pulled towards it despite my struggles. It hurts when it happens, too. I look back and realize that everything I was is gone And everything I am is who I said I’d never be Someone; help; please… Prove to me that the world is still a beautiful place.
