The teen age is the worst one
Velocity and Anxiety
this cant be happening
slowly, sadly, seeping into pits of homework, hormones,
And the expectations you were supposed to rise too.

But nah you’re just sinking.

A few years ago you were on your fifth grade trip to medieval times
Smiling and laughing
But now you’ve seen the real dark ages;
high school

tryna 
Pretend my past doesn’t exist
tryna
Pretend my present isn’t important
And tryna
Pretend my future isn’t awaiting me

Trying to keep it light

But when the future is all there is,
You lose a lot of days thinking about it,
And then you just die.

That’s not too bad.
