It's already been a year
Since I took my first steps
Into dependence.
It's already been a year
Since I waved goodbye to
The moment I could.
It's already been a year
And I've cried to friendless nights and
fears with the lights on.
It's already been a year
Since I've set the deadline
for my dead life.
It's already been a year
And I cry about the dying
I left behind.
It's already been a year
Since I realized
Yesterday
Is too fast.
Since I started chasing flashing lights
Trying to catch fireflies
Like they're still in their jars.
Since I've been afraid of the changes
Around and in my bank account
And not ready for my future of
a month ago
And not ready for my
20 years today.
I'm doubting my chances before
I get them
And wondering how long it is
Until my fireflies
Fly away from fire
My presence is catching up to me

And it's only been a year.
3 AM blatherings. Pay no mind. :heart:

*Luff* it's always easier for me to write at 2 in the morning or later. Also, i haven't bought the materials yet, no hard feelings if you wanted to back out of your commission. ^___^
