when i was seventeen
i penned the words
"i hope to wake up one day and feel perfect.
please. i would love that forever"
my worries then seem detached and distant
because what then ate away at my three year younger self
just doesn't quite do it for me now
worrying about school and grade and my then-poor health
feels silly, almost immature, but i digress
the world is a scary place
and i'm going to die whether embrace that fact
or live my life in a shell
what truly matters is the people
i opt to spend my time with
while i'm on this for-now green Earth
there's no real reason why i'm here
or why you're here or why any of us are
face facts and cherish the time of your limited existence
the only person you can rely on is
yourself
