Anamaya - When

When I was 16
I spent my days
Reading Jane Austen
Listening to Blood Red Shoes
Watching YouTubers
Streaming E4

When I was 17
I spent my days
Reciting Emily Dickinson poems
Buying expensive journals
Reading Kazuo Ishiguro's novels
Listening to jazz

When I was 18
I spent my days
Watching Kurt performing
Walking around window shopping
Making faces to strangers
Breaking piano pedals

When I was 19
I spent my days
Rewatching the bridge
Over and over again
Writing poems for friends
Who never read any of them

When I was 20
I spent my days
In the libraries
Fancying myself a writer
Don't even mention girlhood studies
If lectures don't excite you

When I was 21
I spent my days
Listening to music by my biggest enemy
Reading Richard Feynman's stories
Doing makeovers
Asking myself
Why it's not over yet

Now I'm 22
And I don't wanna spend my days
Waking up before the dawn
What I want is to binge-watch Bergman
And memorize words in Swedish, Dutch, French, and German
And I don't wanna know what I need it for
I don't wanna know if I need it at all
I just wanna do it
No matter what
