I wish I wasn't born like this,
As if my life depends on the time,
I can't wait or it'll be too late.
I look at myself and feel the same disgust,
As all those years ago.
My mother's words still imprinted in my head,
Knowing the love I get would be more if I wasn't like this.
The words hit my brain,
And suddenly I'm eight again,
With the same feelings of worry and pain,
But I can't say anything.
I can't be more different than I already am.
This country is empty
It is long gone
For the days of adventure
And truth
Lie written in our history books
Soon to be burned and forgotten
I'm 14.
And I just saw Bruce Springsteen
Live for the first time.
I've loved him and his music since I was 6.
I've listened to him religiously since I was 7.
018751 this was the lunch code I was given
My first day of third grade
My teacher wrote on my hand
With a green marker that smelled like berries
018751 this was the passcode for my first email

The second and last stanzas felt like a punch; I understand this feeling so well. You are not alone in this feeling. If you need to chat about anything, feel free to message me! There is still time. :)
