My life is so dry because the vibrant colors of the world and the people absorb my youth.
I am forced to grow up and be mature to face the path of my future,
full of dirt because everyone faces trials and tribulations and mistakes to get where they’re going.
It’s hard and we come upon dead ends that God puts in our path
but still we need to go full ahead and while this is happening, I’m drying out, drying out of life, drying out of who I am.
