Too young? 

Isn’t 18 too young to be so tired of people? 

Isn’t 18 too young to be not afraid of  what wolves can devour?

 Isn’t 18 too young to not have a home? 

Isn’t 18 too young to start your mornings with fumes? 

Isn’t 18 too young to play with arrows and splinters?

Isn’t 18 too young to wear so many masks? 

Isn’t 18 too young to get panic attacks when asked about future? 

Isn’t 18 too young to see through everyone’s show? 

Isn’t 18 too young to swallow thorns and spit roses? 

Isn’t 18 too young to be kind but oh, so cruel?
