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.
