"Adulthood"
Adulthood is a scam
It's all a sham
Beyond illusions and delusions
It is all a lie.
I saw this coming in childhood,
But everyone said "you're a know it all",
Or "you don't know everything".
There were reasons why I isolated so much
I knew everything was horrible and I didn't want to participate in their grand mirage
But alas now as an adult, I have no choice but to partake in these delusions.
I'm not quite happy about it at all.
The vast majority are ignorant or,
Deliberately choose to offend for sport.
As I've been educating through it all since my teenage years.
But I shift through so many different topics it's hard to keep up.
Regardless my point still stands, adulthood is a scam and a delusion.
