Afterlife
Quite suddenly it comes just as love fades in the wake of realization.
The growing pain time when you realize you once were a child but now you’re old.
It is as a soul leaves the body after death; an alienation.
Only to begin a new era of life just as a soul would join the after life with streets of gold.
This realization of the abandonment of my youth however did not come with the after life of immediate joy.
No I realized that I was no longer a child when life got harder, I had to become smarter and I was distracted by the boys.
I grew up when I explored my thoughts, realized responsibilities and when my mind I did employ.
When I began to overthink is the time that I transitioned into an adult.
It’s a blessing and a curse for myself I do insult.
