Knowledge and Freedom

They say that wisdom comes with age.
But I find that I'm too old to know everything.
When I was little, I understood everything.'
Everything had purpose.
Everything had meaning.
Everything had beauty.
Now, shit is random.
Now, shit is pointless.
Now, shit is ugly.
When I was five, I could explain to you how people fall in love and what happens to you after you die.
Now that I'm fifteen, that's what I'm trying to comprehend.

They say that a free life only exists while you're young.
But now that I'm older, I'm have all the liberties I could ask for.
When I was little, there were rules.
Every action required permission.
Every scenario had rules.
Every moment contained worry of disapproval.
Now, I decide what's wrong and right.
Now, I can choose what I shouldn't do.
Now, I don't have to worry about always doing the right thing.
Earlier, my life was listening.
Presently, my life is full of learning.
When I was five, I looked before I crossed the street.
Now that I'm fifteen, I run into roads and learn how to doge the speeding cars.

Little - intelligent and bound.
Old - stupid and unrestricted.

Just So You Know

more shit i dont remember writing!

I just want to say I'm sorry.
I'm sorry you're afraid of previously mundane things.
I'm sorry you're all alone in a group of people.
I'm sorry you feel lost walking streets you've known your whole life.
I'm sorry you feel trapped standing in a open field.
I'm sorry you don't feel at home in your own house.

I just want you to know I'll be there.
I'll be there to give you the courage to do what you always have.
I'll be there to stand by you when the world turns its back on you.
I'll be there to help you make a map when you're lost.
I'll be there to show you the sky when the ground tries to swallow you whole.
I'll be there to take you to a place just for us.

A place to be home.
