Everybody My Age Poem

Everybody my age went to the Calgary Stampede 

Everybody my age has a car or their license 

Everybody my age has friends they hang out with every day

Everybody my age has money to spend 

Everybody my age has been to a bar or party to get wasted 

Why is it that everybody my age seems to have a cooler life than me? 

But you know what? 

Everybody my age thinks I’m smarter than them

Everybody my age thinks I have a cooler mom than them

Everybody my age thinks I have friends that are better than them

Everybody my age thinks I wear makeup

Everybody my age thinks my life is better than theirs

And it makes sense that they can’t see the reality

Because the only people we see our age 

Are through a screen
