don’t let the years come knocking, not while my heart’s still loud. i’m not ready for quiet or blending into the crowd. i still want to cry at movies and dance like i can’t be seen, write songs i’ll never finish, and dream like i’m thirteen. i don’t want suits and deadlines or calls i have to take. i want late-night talks and mistakes i’m meant to make. let me stay in the middle where nothing feels too clear, where i’m scared, but still believe in things that disappear. if time comes by tomorrow, tell her i’ve run away— i’m hiding in this moment where i still feel okay.

where i feel okay
There wasn't much left to do but drink the night away; just me and this bottle of *** I seemed to have blurred the lines from being 18 and happy to 22 and ready to drink myself to death. I am not sure how I got here, maybe years of hiding sadness, who knows really?

Between 18 & 22
