While in the south, I'd work on creating a garden. I'd likely just use an already established garden that nobody tended to anymore. I'd grow anything I could to sustain myself long term - the world's food wouldn't last forever. When spring came, I'd drive back to Vermont and raid what grocery stores I still could, now that everything was thawing out. I'd continue this wave of spring up through Canada, until the last of the northern grocery stores were thawing out and becoming unusable.
I'd probably read a lot more given that no humans would be alive to make new forms of entertainment. Assuming that in this scenario all humans just blip out of existence, all grocery stores would probably still be standing and full of food. Freezing Vermont winters would work in my favor for preserving food here. I'd likely drive my car to the south, where I wouldn't freeze to death, like I would up north. I'd loot grocery stores along the way, getting any non-perishables I possibly could.
I love this! I love how you were able to give your own thoughts a poetic rhythm and feel. I particularly like your line "my heart is racing but my mind is blank with things I don't know how to express". It's powerful!
This is a realistic poem, sad, but realistic. It is really heartbreaking to see so many kids, and adults who do not know how to read and write. I’m glad this site and others like it exist, so the people who do like writing can share their talent.
Also - welcome to YWP! And, is your username Warrior cats? If so, I like the name (Ravepaw’s a great character). :3

This is really good - it shows the huge difference between what you hope and want, and what reality will throw with you.
vro you JUST saw this
looking at things like summer camps that do a lot of writing stuff would probably get you some things.
