I'm 22

By Dear Labyrinth

Info

I'm 22, but they treated me like I'm still 10.

I'm 22, but it feels like they don't trust me.

I'm 22, but I have no freedom on my own.

I'm 22, but it feels so empty.

I'm 22, but I don't have my own voice to speak and to express.

I'm 22, but they think I'm still lacking.

I'm 22, but I can't do things on my own.

I'm 22, but I feel so lost.

I'm 22, but I don't know what to do.

I'm 22, but I'm still grounded.

I'm 22, but everything seems so ambiguous.

I'm 22, but things are so uncertain.

and...

I'm 22, but why is it I'm not genuinely happy?

I was 22 and I was young. I'm going older, but I'm still young. Still on teen years but treated like 20 somes. And different people from different ages also have such sentiments. Just the feel I got from this ?

yeah, absolutely. ? but you know what sometimes it feels like it's too much.

It's not just sometimes, it's really a lot of times. But well, it's either to survive or to succumb. Or maybe both. Well, sometimes can be most times and always can become sometimes. It's okay to feel not okay, anyway. The world can be really tiring. But then, it's still your choice ?

Yeah, we can never change the world or the people around us. You can feel everything, but you gotta do something about it, cause you can't just feel sad forever. It's amazing that there are some people who can relate to my thoughts. ?

I do agree. The same thing as a web. All of us meet at a certain point but we separate with other thoughts, thus the branched web. ^_^
