i always wanted to be older.

i wanted to be grown,

so everyone would take me seriously.


but now,

the assignments are piling up,

and my teachers are getting mad.


now, 

my friend is in the bathroom throwing up,

while my other friend is off with some guy.


now,

i carry pepper spray in my bag,

and never walk alone.


now,

my parents are yelling about my future,

while i'm busy trying to starve myself.


now,

i don't even take myself seriously.
