Poetry On Odyssey: Grown

When does one know they are grown up?

Poetry On Odyssey: Grown
www.thedisneycastle.blogspot.com

Oh my gosh what's going on, life has turned quite weird,

I pressed on from the stunting crowd and now I don't know where I am,

I've met plenty of hurdles in this never-ending story;

Boy, it appears that life is nothing but a vague journey.


Like wings inside a cocoon; the cultivation stirs,

List barely checked off, hardly where I need to be,

Now after it all, only glimmers of achievement I see;

Can't you tell? I'm a seasoned vet with a tucked in shirt.


Eyes of hazel show off his stubble prickle his baby-face,

Am I ready to face it all, to spread my wings aloft?

Heaven forbid if they see you cry,

No! I'm grown and shall endure running the race ahead.


I feel so broken and scared, and though there are no grades,

Trusting my skills for a test hardly studied is where I am,

Am I nothing but a millennial seeking mercy in this apocalyptic mess?

Is this no more than a brief notion bleeding from a young, but experienced mind?

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
