cling to that cigarette
shake like a homeless man

nearly eighteen and this is your province
when you're old you'll feel at home

look back to your seventeenth
can't remember, can you?
all your aging gets you nothing but bored
it's all the same, all the same

stop shaking
stand up
stand up
stand up

you couldn't be somebody else
you didn't spend your second grade
whittling pencils into statues

you didn't start feeling until it was too late for you

old at five and still i'm aging

Nice work. I'm glad I didnt start feeling before it was too late. Age is a state of mind I think. Thanks for sharing
