I'm Twenty and I'm Scared
i turned twenty last weekend and i can already feel my heart rotting
Ally Sheedy was right
that is not to say that i am an adult but still
i was bundled up in my heavy winter blankets
because you know how low my blood pressure is
and i heard the silence of the apartment ringing in my ear
and i knew i was going to hear this for the rest of my life
i dont care that Lena got a new boyfriend
i dont care that Isaac almost lost his fat hamster and found it the next day behind his couch
i dont care about what Freddie thinks about the new cafe on Bleecker and that i should go check it out
and i can feel my heart growing fungus and it smells wretched
and its no surprise im going to die alone because who would want to be with me
i still care for you but i dont tell you that enough
i have feelings and i love things and i have this dream but i never talk about it
im too tired and people dont care because why should they; i dont care about them
you see you see how rotten this heart is
i wish i could go exchange it at some store
you see you see
that im scared too?
