I Am An Adult

I’ve become an adult and I now have things to do.
I work 8 hours a day
Shower my teeth, brush my body
Walk my car and drive my dog when needed
I’m a busy man.

I’ve got it all under control.
I files my taxes and documents in the same cabinet
Feed my pet weekly
Visit my dentist monthly, my doctor yearly and my psychiatrist weekly
I take my medication when needed and not as prescribed.
I’m healthy.

I’m active. 
This includes frequent walks to the fridge for both snacks and beverages. 
Only sugar free I say but the rest of the food pyramid is free game
My daily step count and heart rate per minute are eerily similar
My breathing audible because I put effort into every breath unknowingly.
I’m okay.
I’m okay.

I am okay.

I tell myself this everyday.

I tell myself this everyday.

But secretly, I ask myself
Will I ever really be okay?

I’ve become an adult.
