Twenty

I'm okay with being twenty,
because today I woke up
and I decided that I was twenty.
Time didn't decide,
nor did numbers
or years,
I did.
My birthday is really just incidental.

"Incidental" is such a terribly convenient word. I'd call it a phrase, actually- it's rather incidental that it gets called a word. Sort of like how "X" in math represents a particular or unknown quantity, "incidental" is representative of phrase AND word.

Sort of like how you decided to be twenty AND are twenty... <333
