I am young,
But if I where a dog I would be in my late 70s
And I have lived for 4x longer than most hamsters
And 170 lifetimes of a fly.
Each day I live is all a mayfly lives in their entire life.
Yet I am young
Because I have lived less than a quarter of my life expectancy.
So I am young,
Because humans die old
And what a privilege that is
To have lived 170 lifetimes of a fly
And still be considered a child.
It's not all the grownups,
But it's too many.
Nothing is how it should be.
The world is heating.
The government collapsing.
Yet we,
We are only overreacting.
Today I've walked around school in a haze
I don't know what to do
How to feel
I don't understand
How he won again
I don't think I want to understand
I miss Halloween
Not because it changed
But I did
I miss going with my parents and my brother
And stuffing my face with candy
I miss meticulously planning out a costume

Oh. My. Gosh. This is beautiful.
Thank you!
i agree
what a beautiful thought that could so quickly be lost forever
This is so perfect! People are always saying that life is short, and this puts that in perspective so well. I love it!
