Twenty-two

The combination of two and two
Leaving me feeling bland and used
Twenty-one and its glamour is fading
I carry a serious face
Tense and itching to be flipped
Some new feeling to arise
To rise in me, a sense of newfound curiosity
Where all I want to do is learn and be inspired
It's not like it was when I was seventeen
Things weren't complex
I was naive
Now I may know too much
