I am a speck of energy
in the mind of an adult
trapped
in the body of a child
except for when I’m
in the mind of a child
trapped
in the body of an adult
There is no middle ground
No equilibrium
Just flip-flopping back
and forth
Emotions rage
swirling within me
throwing everything
off-balance
And the world expected so much
of me as a child
So mature for my age I was
and yet somehow it is all more
crushing now
But that’s just called “adulthood”
Feeling small in a city
of giants who can see right through me
Feeling lost
in the library of life
