18, 19, 20
You start counting
Not realizing
The world is burning

18, 19, 20
You’re constantly raging
Feel everything’s opposing
As nobody’s understanding

18, 19, 20
You go for rebelling
Society’s pressuring
What’s good about conforming

18, 19, 20
You choose isolating
The crowd is maddening
They’re always buzzing

18, 19, 20
You’re much questioning
Simultaneously denying
Your body’s confusing

18, 19, 20
You begin desiring
But fear of loving
You think it’s deceiving

18, 19, 20
You wait for an ending
But it’s never coming
So you keep living

21, 22, 23
You’re still counting
Now feels like falling
But the ground is not hitting

21, 22, 23
You’re addicted to comparing
Yourself is the reason you’re hating
Acid is the blood that’s flowing

21, 22, 23
You try opening
Attach your heart to a string
To become an object of seeing

21, 22, 23
You sip the taste of touching
The flavor is arousing
Makes your water rushing

21, 22, 23
You let the soul burning
Endure the pain of losing
Lesson is the hurting

21, 22, 23
You crave of changing
Appease through meditating
The importance of detaching

21, 22, 23
You keep counting
A discovery of being
Learning and unlearning

18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23
And the poem stops rhyming
