i find it strange 

that a girl that i just met

has the audacity to tell me i need help

after just talking to me for an hour

asking me why i am so submissive and scared

analyzing my psyche without my own permission

and the people that i know 

telling me slow down, slow down

when all i want to do is run

all i want to do is run 

how do you know so much more than me

at only twenty five

im only nineteen

but i thought i understood more than i used to

how much more is there to understand about the world

and how can i learn the information 

without feeling the pain that lessons

usually come with?
