I'll rage, rage against the dying of the light, right after
my nap.
What is God's age? I guess not earlier than 200,000 years ago. I'd
even say there was no God before the end of the Neolithic age, and
that means God is roughly 7,000 years old.
i
think
the
reason
why twentysomethings are so fixated on
age is because we feel a pressure to be a certain way at 23, at
25, at 29. There are all of these invisible deadlines with our
careers and with love and drinking and drugs. I can’t do
coke at 25. I need to be in a long term relationship at 27. I
can’t vomit from drinking at 26. I just can’t! We
feel so much guilt for essentially acting our age and making
mistakes. We’re obsessed with this idea of being
domesticated and having our s.hit together. It’s kind
of sad actually because I don’t think we ever fully get a
chance to enjoy our youth. We’re so concerned about doing
things "the right way" that we lose any sense of
pleasure in doing things the wrong way. Youth may be truly
wasted on the young.
When I was 18
a guy of 23 told me that
I couldn't know misery yet
when I reached his age I'd know
why you drink to forget
He drunkenly held on to his pina colada
and I got mad
A friend told me that it's true
that you change a lot in those years
as I would have hoped because
it would be sad to stay stagnant
but I didn't count on this
When I got 19 I've slept in some
unfriendly bedrooms of unfriendly men
I ran of abroad and told a boy
that I'm the youngest girl alive
in my head, cause I was
he thought that was weird
because he always felt old
and he held me trying to sip up
my youth
I was on a plane with a man
who told me my loud voice could indicate
that I was uncertain about myself
I said no, that's not an option, I just like
being heard and don't worry,
you didn't put me in a identity crisis
because I'm only 20 and it's a state of mind
keep on embracing that feeling
and now I'm 21, I still lie in bed with boys
who I won't marry with but who think
that I am beautiful and I think I am
beautiful
And I'm still not clinging to pina colada's
but I have two more years to catch a trauma
that makes me so bitter that I stop trying
and colour black insides
with sweet liquor
but until then, I'm drinking
for nights to remember
instead of forget

Soon you'll be saying "when I was a boy," whether you were one or
not, that's just how old you've become.
