adulthood

Tell me how it all works out for you
Buy your wife and download your kids from your iPhone
Eat, drink, and be unaware
Let me into this exclusive club
where everyone seems to be a member
I am almost there
I bought the tins cans
I begged the satellite waves to lull me into complacency

It did
I am old
It feels less horrible
But it’s still a lie
Candies, moccasins, feathers and why
was everything so unappealing
Your eyes, they too were lies
Your words had been borrowed
Your wounds were skin deep and merely the result of your own selfish behavior
You flew so high up above once
Now you have what you want
You crawl on your belly like all the rest of them
