But what is it that I want?
Beautiful Poetry, thank you:)
Ever torn between
my age in numbers
and how I feel
that I should slow
down not measure
my minutes for their
industriousness.
We’re younger than
we’ve ever been
before and for
so much longer.
That my mother,
my father had to
commit to life
together houses
together dogs
cats children
jobs – well did
it make them
stronger I wonder?
We’re younger than
we’ve ever been
before and for
so much longer.
To commit to
anything seems
too limiting
and we’re the ones
who say no to sacrifice
because we eat, drink,
be merry like we
deserve any of it.
