//a young adult's realizations and newfound views on life
Act 1
• Becoming an adult was a scam
• Saying that out loud, I hear how childish it sounds
• Like a ten-year-old put in an adult's body
• I see everything with hateful, ominous glasses
• I refuse to believe that this is reality
• Am I being childish? Is it just me?
• You're an adult, didn't you feel this way too?
• for five years I've been complaining of how they were treating me like a child,
• now they're not, and seriously, it doesn't feel any better
• It's so much easier to see God's importance now
• As a human, there's only so much fuel for me to use
• It won't last in this battle
Act 2
• Lord, hi
• I have a question..
• Why..
• Why does the adult world
• look like a world of big broken children?
• It makes me wonder how they could have guided the little ones..
• I think- I know now
• Why being an adult is so scary
• In this phase, there's no guiding hand
• and eventually you'll have to guide someone
• no wonder adults look for love
• to have someone beside them in this fog
• It's so scary going through this fog alone
• Now, you see even your family is trying to push their way through it
• I realized- so that's why people hold onto faith
• Faith used to be a rock, a foundation before
• but now, it's the safety line on my waist,
• the rope I hold to navigate,
• and the light I see at the distant gate
• so that's why the people of old wanted to go to heaven
• life in this world was and is so dark and unstable
• the air was difficult to breathe and sometimes the fog would be so dense
• it can cover up even the people beside you
• and you'll feel alone, desperately trying to cling wherever
• to have some assurance that you're still where you are
• something- anything- to root you in place
• for some it was a blade, others, a site
• for some, it was occult, others, a cig light
• for some, it was a body, others, a crime
• and then, there are those who kneeled
• they paused and prayed, and for some reason, breathed
• the air they had was light
• the fog around them, gone
• they could see the people clearly
• and they saw the world as bright
• They set up churches
• to heal the broken and damned
• They counseled and lectured
• to erase the dark dense fog
• No wonder you go to church to get married
• It's to bless the child you'll carry
• and for a few years guide you as parents
• so you can guide your little baby
