when you were a kid,
the world was your oyster
and you could do a n y t h i n g
if you put your mind to it
&whatever you wished for
would always come t r u e
because you were special
{{obviously.}}
now that you're
o l d e r,
gosh,
that word comes with
t o n s
of baggage
cause you've got to be
more mature
&kinder
&wiser
&it sucks.
all you wanna do
is e v e r y t h i n g
but the world doesn't work like that
-does it?-
all you wanna do
is go back
to the way things were b e f o r e
but the world doesn't agree to our wishes
-never-
so one day, you'll wake up
&find the other side of your bed
cold
&you'll know
{{somehow}}
that he's g o n e
and that he'll
n e v e r c o m e b a c k
…
you could carry a mirror around
but you know
it wouldn't be the same
