Being a teenager means

Schrodinger's cat isn't just a concept anymore

The person you are

is simultaneously alive and dead

in the box you were put in

This is an old piece of writing, and I don't remember writing it.

Is it okay that I wish for my grandmother to die? 

Today, I watched boys climbing a log stuck vertically in the sand

And girls kicking at leaves just for the fun of it,

And oh, when did our youth slip through the backdoor unnoticed,

mother! i cry, captive of the wind

carrying my voice for those to hear who

accept failure is not an option & instead pursue

the package of progress, the patch of promise

a battle cry to be heard,
