Blue Hearts 2k16 (My Collection of Poems And Short Stories)

Adult

I feel alone.

I feel abandoned.

I feel empty.

I feel like I'm missing something.

Is this how an adult should feel?

I feel my back ache every morning.

I feel my head throb every afternoon.

I feel my heart burn everyday.

Is this how an adult should feel?

Toys don't distract me anymore.

Friends don't talk to me anymore.

Family don't mean much to me anymore.

Is this how an adult should feel?

Is this why the grown ups always seemed so cold?

Is this why the grown ups always seemed so off?

Is this why the grown ups always seemed so distant?

Is this why the grown ups always seemed so old?

Were they simply getting old?

Were they simply getting tired?

Is this how an adult should feel?

I wanted to become an adult so fast,

But now I want to become a child again.

Why do I feel so sad?

Why do I feel like I've wasted my life?

Why do I feel like I should've done more?

Is this how an adult should feel?

I want to go back home,

But there's nowhere to go.

Everyone's gone.

It's just me.

I want to talk to someone.

But there's no one to talk to.

Everyone's busy.

I want to have fun.

But all the teenagers ignore me.

Everyone's young.

When have I become so old?

When have I become so fragile?

When have I become so exhausted?

When have I become so lonely?

Is this how an adult should feel?
