Empty Twenty

i'm still sitting in swimming pools, they're empty now. am i an adult now? barely even twenty, now i'm confused somehow. got my life in front of me but am i willing to do so? will i reach the high when i come from down below? they're watching us, like we're some kind of experiment. scolding us out by any mistakes, and they wonder why we don't scream by excitement. the youth is drowning and the elders are describing the water. 04.22.17
