Alonely

older, but no wiser
quieter, but no calmer
far more passionate, but not a lover
taller, but no more confident

overgrown child
who gave you the ability to... drive?
eat, think, work on your own terms
i can't believe the joke you really are

looser, but still a loser
better, but still understated
callous, but still crying
failure, but still with hope

believe it or not
