Twenty-five
Twenty-five –
A child, yet adult in your eyes
An adult, but a child to blame
I’m awake – writing
Even Alexa turns off the lights
I want to believe
We’re together exploring the world
As a family
Yet, here I am
Struggling –
Abused and oblivious –
Twenty-five and needing you
I reach out to the phantom of nothing
My reach falling through a haze of broken promises
