When I was little
the only thing I wanted to be was
older.

"Why?"
You ask.

Because I thought if I were older than people would take me more seriously.

But it turns out I was wrong.

Since,
I'm already half way there and nothing has changed.

The world still looks down on me as if I'm a child
and maybe I am
but so what?

Three years difference doesn't make my
opinion any less than yours.

Neither does 10 or 40.

You always tell me I still have a lot to learn but
than why won't you teach me?

You say that I'm only a kid and I don't understand what's going on.

But how do you know?
'Cause it's not like you've ever asked me
before

You always just assume.

Assuming is the first step to take in the wrong direction.

Did you know that?

No.

But I did.
