There's no such thing as autumn leaves
I don't talk when I see a stranger anymore
Invitations to meet parents become scarce
Adolescence possesses my senses.
It's like my brain snapped open after years of keeping me out,
A door I didn't know I needed sealed my fate and I rise dormant now,
Nothing can get past me anymore these days.
They said I had a future
That the sun would rise just as much as it set for me,
That the people around me would be numerous
And your twenties are the greatest.
Instead I catch myself mourning a life I never had,
The hands of what's come and gone left marks on me I can no longer point to,
I believed in the notion of a new day,
And it locked me out with no warning.
