growing up

life and its agonizing frequencies have finally crossed our own

we are one with the pain and changes and heartache

the foundation of your life is torn down and the remnants are burnt to ashes

and the ashes will float away like doves being released at a funeral

the things you knew, that you put faith in

will dissipate with time

growing up is like trying to crawl out of an avalanche

you don't know what direction is up

until you're either thirty feet below where you started

or blinking the sunlight out of your eyes
