How do I become the woman I want to be?

Compassionate,

kind,

gentle,

calm,

happy.

How do I find a job that makes the world a better place?

I feel like I’m learning we never grow up.

We get older, we have to become ‘adults’,

but I think we mostly stay seventeen,

just more confused,

lonely,

desperate,

scared.

Instead of looking towards the future, the future has come and

is leaving and we’re left reeling,

where the fuck has all the time gone? 

We’re just playing a game called Offices, and

I find myself saying things I don’t mean

just to see how others react.
