Growing Up (2016)
Growing up is…
unsubscribing to that irrelevant email chain
without fearing the repercussions.
Growing up is…
giving up on your minor dreams
so that you can work up the courage
to give up on your bigger dreams.
Growing up is…
drinking not because you can get away with it
but drinking because it’s the only way
you can make it through the day.
Growing up is…
a socially acceptable coffee addiction
because you will never be able to
afford a proper cocaine addiction.
Growing up is…
writing poetry because you can’t
bring yourself to get dressed
and take out the trash.
