My Coming of Age Poem(sorry it's so long)

Have I grown up  
If I eat Froot Loops  
in the bath tub  
Watching Flapjack  
Eating Big Macs with Sriracha  
Mac-n-cheese with Sriracha  
Just about anything with Sriracha on it  
I gotcha back  
and you can betcha sweet ass on it  
Way back in class  
I'd play with the bunsen burners  
and hacky sacks  
Now I'm paying taxes  
and my boss is still giving me flack  
Although I still enjoy the simple things  
Like waking up in the morning  
and releasing the massive  
dam of piss I've been holding  
Stretching and yawning  
before the day starts unfolding  
I'm perfecting my craft of coloring  
Reminiscing on high school poetry  
I've transformed my writing  
and you'd never even know it's me  
My sister looks up to me  
We're in isle three  
Surfing on our shopping carts  
and stacking up our groceries  
She's making me smile when she sings  
Soon she'll be on the radio  
and I'll be in the background whistling  
I'm listening to Milo  
but  
I'll never fully understand his philosophy  
It boggles me in the best way possible  
I'm also in love with Chance  
and his gospels  
Am I the only one that calls  
analog sticks noggles?
 
Anyways I've always been a goofball  
My dog is a dooface  
but his love is unconditional  
And if I was terminal  
I'd spend my last days with him  
Not to be morbid  
But that's just how cool he is  
I'm curious like a kid  
Craving that crunchy ice from the hospital  
Pink lemonaid  
with a coffee lid  
My shoes resemble some moccasins  
Im walking in with the fattest grin  
first impression to my future friends  
But my best friend will always know  
me better than you  
He motivates me in all that I do  
We've been through the grinder  
Swapping lighters and ideas  
faster than you can  
type them on a typewriter  
We'll share laughter til we die  
Or lose our damn minds  
I've always felt inspired by  
Morgan Freeman and Bill Nye  
Time is relative  
But an optimistic view  
provides an abundant supply  
and I'll give you some of mine  
for a conversation or two  
I want to decipher your codes  
Then use them as reference  
to solve the latest Sudoku  
A warm cozy sweater is my go-to  
I used to end all my phone calls  
with I love yous  
I figured that was better than goodbye  
But I refined my definition of love  
and it's more like  
The sunshine loves the moon  
and Shaggy loves Scooby-Doo  
and a mother loves her baby  
loves her father  
and her family too  
I'm trying to inspire you  
Or maybe I'm trying to inspire me  
Either way I'm aspiring to be  
an astronaut or Kool A.D.  
I like sipping on Kool-Aid  
and the smell of rain on the asphalt  
I guess I'm lucky because in Washington  
That's pretty much all we got  
I should tie my shoes in a double knot  
But I don't usually..  
Maybe that's a sign that I'm not scared  
of tripping on some strings  
I learn best from my mistakes  
smoke breaks and bad dates  
I'm up late writing in my journal  
til my eyes burn and my head aches  
But at the end of the day..
it's all worth it  
I want to look back on my life  
and not regret a single part of it  
Both my failure and success  
will have a piece of my heart in it  
So I guess I have grown up  
But I still get choked up  
when I think about how hard it is  
So don't remind me  
It's about time to go to sleep  
Tune into our dreams  
and conquer their clarity  
Some things are not as they seem so  
Follow the signs  
and  
they'll take you where you need to be  
To all in my vicinity  
Goodnight  
Until the day we finally meet
