Being a child

is where problems used to be mild,

and the only thing that makes you sob

is getting a tiny bruise

Being a teen

is where things go wrong

because all that matters

is being able to belong

And once you hit eighteen,

that's where you start

to douse yourself

with caffeine,

the only thing important

is passing your papers on time

Being the best is simply better

than being happy

because what's the point

of being happy

when you're not the best?

Being an adult

is where you realise

that problems in life

is much harder than before,

to the point it makes you wish

you don't wanna live anymore

and it makes you wish

you can go back from before

because back then the problems

could easily still be ignored

Passing away

simply feels like laying on top

of a bouquet

You can finally breathe in peace

because you know you're about to

go somewhere faraway.
