Entering Adulthood

That's where you belong
In the land of voters
And tea drinkers

But this is where I'll stay
I'm your childhood fling,
First to hear your sweet nothings

Last to grow up
Perhaps I might not grow up at all

I don't exactly like it,
But I was right all along

I'm your scabbed knees
From gravelled ground
Now you've not even got my scars to spare

But I'm still hanging, ethereally
Im an incandescent ghost, dear,
And all the worse for wear.
