Unusual being
disconnected
With the joy
once felt
As a child
looking back
And yet the
magic is gone
Is it natural
to grieve
That lost
youthful energy
Is it natural
to realize
How much
hurts now
When before I
could shake it off
The toll of school
commercializing
Things that used
to be mindless
The toll of family
splitting centerfold
Love turned to
something transactional
Feelings of
insecurity
Sneaking in
through the door
I never used
to worry so much
Now it's every
day regardless
Of logic
the panic
Knows what
it wants
It knows how
to get it
Sometimes it's
unrealistic to fight
Sometimes it's
easier to just lay down
But once and
a while
Fighting is
the easy thing
Comes like
breath in the lungs
Letting me know
that nothing
Can keep
me down
