2014

I wish I never grew up. because mama, this world is ugly. I wish I lived to see the autumn, but come winter, cut me. For mama, there is beauty in the dark, just as there was beauty in my heart. And had you told me how it goes, I’d end my story while the ink still flow. For it’s no longer 2014, and hopes and dreams are never what they seem. As once you leave the safety of your mind, where the only person to let you down is I, you walk to drown into the sea. I find it so hard to see, As if the grass is too tall and my feet can’t reach. For as I run in time, the world runs faster, and I broken, greeting defeat. It’s no longer 2014, so I take a breath and exhale a breeze. For the capes we wore, they no longer fit, and the heroes beneath live to please. How time has passed. The years, numbers, but people change. It’s no longer 2014.
