Truth Hurts

No, I do not understand the world.
Yes, I am young, and have many years ahead.

To aspire, and prosper.
But I have had my experiences.

Ones to live for,
others to live past.

I have occupied my mind with distractions.
Healthy, and unhealthy.

Different pills with different colors.
Liquids with strong scents that are bad for my health.

I have feared people.
Ones of close relation, ones of no connection.

I've feared persons to hold my words against me, persons that stand with me.

I am young, and have many years ahead.
Yet, I am numb, and feel dead.
