I’ve been watching iCarly all the way through for the second time
I’m also watching Avatar on the side
I’m trying to let things unfold on their own, I don’t like to force things
It makes me nervous when I start to expect things
There are no rules
There is nothing keeping me from
making a life so why won’t I try?
I’m sometimes a fool
There are some moments I just can’t try
That’s what I’ve found but here we are now
As soon as I finish the last seasons
of each respective tv show
I’ll start pushing myself yeah right
Maybe I'm progressing more than I think
I’d like to believe that

Tuesday Evening

I’m getting restless, I’m starting to feel like I havent got this, I can't wake up
till my second coffee, at this point I can’t sleep and then it starts all over
I miss everything about not knowing who I was
I'm 23 now, I wanted to stay 22 forever but I can’t avoid
getting older, it’s harder to put things off when years start to go by
I miss everything about not being old enough
I can’t help looking back because there’s nothing to see here
I'm keeping everything far enough away that I don’t get attached
but where’s the thrill in that?
Should I have traced my steps and gone back?
Maybe it’s ok not to make wishes, I’m left with something that I can’t name
and it’s Tuesday evening, I’m living life and I’m happy to be here

Am I better for what I don’t do
when I have no option anyway?
Am I better for giving things up
if it’s just to boost my own pride?
There’s nothing wrong with getting better
This I know
but I feel like I’m not quite there
I thought I’d grown out of my temper
I was wrong
but clearly I’m still getting there
I don’t know if anything is set in stone
I guess I’ll just watch Mean Girls again
smiling till the very end
I have convinced myself this is life
and I’ve got no problem with this
There’s nothing wrong with living safely
this I know
and it feels like i have no choice
I’ve gotten through more than I’d like to
so I know
that I can’t sit and wait around
I just have to take it one step at a time
I won’t always be able to hide
and watch Nickelodeon inside
but at the moment I remain content
in hope that is enough
So I’ll sit and and wonder
what kind of life is waiting down the road

Too Much Caffeine

Last night I drank for the first time in quite a while
It was just one beer so I'm not sure if it counts
It made me realize just how different I’ve become
At least I know my habits are something I can run away from
Today I’ve already had more caffeine than I need
It was a Red Bull and two cups of shitty coffee
and that just leads me to believe I haven’t changed much
I want to know whether I’m forcing change or I’m really changing
The older that I get the less I care about things
I’m starting to feel like another boring routine
and that’s why I’m trying to hold on
My roots will never fade away, I promise that much
If life is going through the motions
I’m not sure that I agree with what life is
and that's why I
I’m starting to get along with my much younger self
I’m even starting to feel like us two could hang out
I was the same person I just made a few mistakes
At least I know that I can learn from them and forgive who I was
The older that I get the less I care about things
I'm starting to feel like another boring routine
and that's why I'm trying to hold on
My roots will never fade away, I promise that much

I'm not changing myself
even though maybe I should
I'm not changing my ways
because my ways have served me well
and I've got no complaints
There's a season for every phase I go through
There's a motive behind every little thing that we do
but the question is can we control them?
It's true I'm not aware
of my own limits sometimes
It's true I criticize
myself in ways I wouldn't want to hear
though maybe I should
The weather will never hear the forecast
It doesn't care about the questions that we ask
but the answer is we can't control it
I'm getting faster but I still don't know what I've got to say
I'm staying under waiting for a chance to make my way
We're all grown up
I'm not facing my fears any time soon, I'm sorry
I'm not getting caught up
in things I don't need anyway
I've got enough to do

There’s nothing to report this time
besides maybe that I’m tired
and it sometimes feels like I’m living underground
cut off from what’s going on
but that’s a lie and I know it
I’ve got a life and I’ll show it
There’s something in me waiting to shine
I’m more than just my old habits
I’m learning how to to keep balanced
and to look straight ahead this time
I’m waiting patiently for signs
sorting all my thoughts like lines
in a corny love song I wish that I could write
cut off from my outer shell
I’m forging my own signature
becoming a clone of myself
I’m still not sure if I can say I know myself
when all I do is change
How long will I be straying
From any sense of self
I don’t think I have anywhere to go
from here
How much is too much thinking
How can I just relax
I don’t want to have a destination
in mind
