Maybe I'm too young to be this sad, this empty at times
But maybe I'm old enough to know better
I'm too old to be who I was long ago
But still not old enough, apparently, to know some things
The words you said
Echo around my head
I feel impossibly too young and yet-
Too old-
It's a contradiction
Honestly, I don't know
But I'm not going to listen to how I'm "supposed" to feel because
I can't fit into a mold
Just because you said so

I wrote this one this morning, about something that happened yesterday.
