I'm stuck in an ordinary world.
You have no idea
how that frustrates me.
I have grown up
watching Harry Potter and his companions
run all over the place
doing cool things up off the yin-yang
and myriad other little characters
in other little worlds
getting stuff done.
and I'm here not doing anything.
What a Damn Disappointment.

By my age Harry had faced
a troll,
a basilisk,
a werewolf,
a dragon,
dementors,
mermen,
and Voldemort.
The most I've faced is
a bitchy eighth-grader
and a bit if self-hate.
I mean what the hell.
I
haven't
even
fallen in love
and had a magical relationship
or had a heart-wrenching choice to make.
"Coming of age"
isn't special at all.
Fuck Miley Cyrus.
