Daily Habits
Too tall for the kiddie pool
Too old to go back to school
Too young to feel like
I should have accomplished more by now.
Too wise to be immature,
yet I’m still not really sure
quite where the line is between
being chill and being cool.
Too ambitious to stay still
Too distracted to go anywhere
Too high, too anxious to sit still
Too side-tracked to get anywhere

These ‘Too…’ hit the mark, one right after the other!
