    The poem reflects on the difficulties of adulthood, responsibilities, and facing fears as the narrator has now come to know through seven months that felt like seven years. The narrator finds it tough to be an adult in a strange, mad city where they must bear responsibility, frustration, and insults. While sometimes wishing to die, the narrator has learned that much of what they were told is a lie, leaving them with just a hollow soul as an adult who now knows but does not know where to go from here.

    Now I Know

    Jose Paulo Tolentino

    Seven months felt like seven years


    and now I face my greatest fears
    Why before I could never wait
    but now I know the heavy weight.

    In a strange world, a mad city,


    it is tough to be an adult
    you take responsibility
    to bear frustration and insult

    There are days I would like to die


    life is not pretty as it seem
    Leave this and what do I redeem?
    many I have learned is just a lie

    They say I should create a goal


    Love and life is what you make it
    but somehow it just could not fit
    All I have is a hollow soul

    From here I don't know where to go


    Being an adult, now I know.

    I know.
