IS THIS WHAT WE CALL MATURITY?
Is this what we call maturity?
Gradually abandoning the only thing that made us happy?
Gradually leaving behind friends that worth more than gold?
Gradually doing everything we said we'd never do?
Gradually becoming like those adults we thought we'd never be?
Is this what we call maturity?
Loosing sanity over situations we don't even know how to fix?
Loosing tracks of the road that could lead back to ignorance?
Loosing friends that could no longer worth more than gold?
Loosing sleep that's now replaced with continuous Overthinking?
Is this what we call maturity?
Going astray and not being able to find our way back home?
Going far away from our comfort zone just to mingle with wolves?
Going everywhere and nowhere, but yet always have to be somewhere?
Going back to those "bad friends" because we couldn't find love at home anymore?
Is this what we call maturity?
Always plastering a mask on our face to cover the shame?
Always speaking in deceit just to put food on our table?
Always making decisions for God because he understands?
Always living a triangle or a rectangle because we can't afford a leave?
No, i don't wish to be a child again
No, i don't wish to be ignorant again
No, i don't wish to be too loving again
But if not, then what exactly is the essence?
What exactly is the essence of life?
Why do we all want to get matured so fast?
What exactly is the benefit of these lies?
Why do we all want to live like it's alright?
We're all gonna be an adult soon and we don't know what to do
And only time will tell if we pull through
Hmm
Is this what we call maturity?
