People say that they've been there and back, when something in me just knows that true maturity must realize that we're all struggling on the same damn plane, regardless of age or experience.

It's not about what you've heard or seen, or how much of the world you've been exposed to, and it's not even about how you've taken all that in and how you've picked every tiny detail of this dysfunctional little paraiso, out. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: it's about who you are..and I may not be all that proud of who I am..but I am proud of who I am trying to be (and, in retrospect, the mere that I'm "trying", makes me proud of who I am, as well)

I am not just another bleep on the radar -I refuse to be,
I am more than a sigh, or a whispered curse
-or a thousand curses on society and conformity:
I, in all my lack of years, am out to be a voice of change.
I, in all my lack of true knowledge, am out to use whatever smarts I've got
(booksmarts or what have you),
not to criticize the illusions imposed upon us by those damn institutions,
but to break through those notions, to see past the smoke and mirrors.

You -and anyone else, can say what you want about what I lack and what I shouldn't say (or what I don't have the right to say, just yet)..we know the truth. I haven't the time to waste on that Real World..I'd much rather work for some happiness in the world I've got.
