Growing Apart

The struggles that I could never understand.

Had been the true cause of all the mistakes that I could not control. 

My struggles are part of my innocence. 

Without them-

I will be judged for a past that becomes part of the void. 

Besides- it is too late anyway. 

To catch up to all the normal people in this world. 

While everyone else had blazed their trails-

I am left with the remnants of paths that are now overgrown.
