You start off as this young eighteen year old
who knows everything
but really knows nothing.
You leave home with this wad of cash in your back pocket
thinking you will never run out.
The freedom you have gets the best of you
staying up until all hours of the night
running wild
this will never end
how can it?
Then it ends.
You are a young twenty-two year old
who knows nothing,
but has learned so much.
Invaluable
are the lessons you have been taught
by life
and its terrors.
You have no money
no home.
The freedom you have gets the worst of you
staying up all hours of the night
thinking
scared,
excited.
What comes next?
