Maturity the term that drips over lips

Such an easy term to spew, mock, or compliment

The distinguishing credits that bare no physicality

A forced smile with a click of the flashing photographer

Official and signed with the flick of your wrist

When you walk out the doors of multiple offices

There is no candy here and there will never be blueberry lollipops

Choose your promises wisely and put your trust in your money

Father to the son and Mother to her daughter

Left with society's standings and sullen goodbyes

Senior parties to drinking and nights out at clubs

When the long nights turn light and all you're left with is smoke

Now coughs run and drip over your lips

Headaches that spew, mock, and don't compliment

The credits you received now no longer an existence

A smile that twitches with long held addictions

Official and signed with the soft movement of your wrist

When you're scrolled out the doors of hospitals again and again

There is always candy here and you reach for the lollipop

How much you wished upon that star as a child

Immaturity at its best when your hair was still in prime

They told you the change will be swift and silent

How ironic that term is now as my final breath

Drips

Over

My

Lips
