It's been a while, and I still don't use it well.

[full_of_vit]

Since when did silver become the new gold?
Since when was I never too young,
But always too old?
Since when did everyone
Become experts on something?
Since when was it right to say, “Son-
This is your life, now do what I say.”
Since when was it allowed?
How long has it been okay?

The words have spilt
From my heart, my soul.
My eyes begin to wilt
With the burden resting
On my shoulders.
The birds remain nesting
Their young to happiness.
But that’s not enough for you,
Just find another excuse to like me less.

Since when did I lose my shine?
Since when was it okay to steal
All those words that were mine?
Since when was making sense
So difficult for you?
Throwing out words over a chain link fence
Throwing out love like it never mattered.
I gave up, now I turned to complex numbers,
The distance between us is growing...growing fatter.
