Time doesn't change us... we do that ourselves

promises unkept...
a dirty look
a fake smile
a perfect example of
sarcasm
complicated?
no
just inconsiderate
and heartless
will i ever grow up?
peter pan says no
that's what i say too
no one ever really grows up
we just think so because we're getting older
but we're all on the same page
we're all sucked in by that silly thing called
selfishness
get over ourselves?
hmm
we're too used to promises...
unkept

This reminds me of a lyric from a song: "Time is contagious, and everybody's getting old..."
