Is twenty five a secret milestone no one truly discusses?
The year feels as though i am trapped
In between my youth
And being ancient.
In truth i have many years to last upon this earth,
Yet that fact hasn't truly sunk in yet.
Is suffering through this
Supposed to be the travesty
I have made it become?
Have i created
This cycle of toxicity?
Or was i born into it,
Subject to its abuse,
And then cast astray
Like a wild cat
After it ate the owner's favorite bird?
Is it the trauma
Or the victim
That's the problem?
