Little has been made
Of the hurtling calendar.
Countless days masturbated
Into oblivion.
I'm supposed to
Have my life together,
Like all my accomplished
Peers who are doing
Well for themselves,
Bachelor degrees and
Promising careers,
Absolutely deserving
Of envious applause
From a coddled child
Who has yet to evolve into
A fully functional adult.

Absolutely deserving
Of envious applause
From a coddled child
Who has yet to evolve into
