MY YOUTH

 



1.Why am I so afraid of sleep?

It’s like I’m afraid of missing out on something

Or is it everything?

Life already passes me by

Even with my eyes wide open

I probably won’t notice it if I just close my eyes for the night

But I don’t want to sleep just yet

My mind swears it’s got something incredible for me past one o’clock



2. I don’t think everybody wants love

Some people romanticize loss

They are comforted by loneliness

They are inspired by sadness

The kind of love that brings empty happiness wouldn’t fulfill them


3.LEARNING TIMES

Ibelieve in education

I just don’t trust the system

4.There are things I believe I should find beautiful,

Or at the very least learn to appreciate

But sometimes I feel the bright afternoon sun

And I remember lonely Sundays

Surrounded by people pretending they are better than each other

Sometimes I see dancing grass

And I remember some kind of hopeless existence on a long school day
