Eye of the Eye

Maturity comes with age,
you can use hormones to make the body age faster,
 but you can’t age the mind.
for some people, 
the chemicals have damaged the brain cells
 they may never grow up.

25 is when you grow up,
 it is as if your soul  awaken.
you begin to notice patterns of:
deceit, 
           Betrayal,
                            hatred
Making you
                  bitter  
                             distant

the hope you had as a child 
the dreams begin to wither
 the eye of the eye begins to open
all senses begin to flood in.
No more second chances 
No more waiting for you to screw up. 


Protection of
		Time
			Peace
				Energy 
					and most importantly
	`							yourself.
