Why do I know so much?
Becoz…
I probably did all the above.
Got caught a few times, lessons learnt.
I have grown up.
But I am still a youth.
But, after thinking about it.
I think I have matured.
At a ripe old age of 22,
Should I leave all these behind?
Ponder, wonder, I asked my mother,
And her reply….
What time already…2 a.m!
Go to sleep now.
Well, gtg.
And yes,
I still stay with my family,
My Commander Officer – my mum,
Still holds the authority.
So much for being matured…
So much of a ripe old age.
I am still very much, my mum’s little boy.
