Maybe
someday
when I am older
wisersmartertallerbiggerbetter
I may live.
But for now, I may be
a shadow
a corpse without a soul.
I am too young for anything important
because the important things in life
cannot be entrusted to the silly past,
the past which we are trying to forget
so that we may convince ourselves
that it never was.
That we were never who we were
and the things
the things we said and did that we hate
never were
and so
when I am older
someday
maybe
I may grow up to take this life for myself
and become one of them.
