Jessica Ross Poet I do not know?

Young

I had all these ideas of what it meat to be 24
I thought things would just fall into place and I wouldn't give it much thought.

but you're still so young they said; their words not enough to take away the feelings of disgust anguish and worry.

I had my own confusion masked with thoughts of grandeur and illusion.

I feel like a carbon copy of who they want me to be
I've lost the original me.

Sorry for being aloof 
I think it best,
sorry for being away I need to take a rest.
