You don't know
As much as you think you know.
Life isn't an episode of FRIENDS.
Six people can't be happy like that
For ten years.
And a small coffee shop
In New York
Can't stay open that long
Anyway.
Les Mis wasn't based
On a Shakespeare play
And you sound like an idiot.
You can't rhyme.
Dr. Seuss is not your favorite poet,
And you're allergic to artificial sweeteners.
And, I kid you not,
You're going to turn 17
To find that your favorite TV show
Is an MTV adaption of "Teen Wolf"
And you won't even be sorry.
You're going to tell your name
To strangers on the internet
And they'll give you a new one.
(And it will be
The best decision of your life)
You never get over Paris.
Or road trips.
Or libraries.
Or oreos.
And on
