I am tired
I am young in my bones
And empty in my heart
My mind feels hungry
But my head feels broken
I don’t belong here
The future seems scheduled
And my life on repeat
The days feel empty
Nothing has meaning
I wish I was old
To see the bigger picture
live in the past when it had meaning
To miss the things I took for granted
But mostly to forget this world
A world filled with nothing
I am young in my bones
And empty in my heart
My mind feels hungry
But my head feels broken
I don’t belong here
The future seems scheduled
And my life on repeat
The days feel empty
Nothing has meaning
I wish I was old
To see the bigger picture
live in the past when it had meaning
To miss the things I took for granted
But mostly to forget this world
A world filled with nothing
This poem is about life today. Where young people are pressured by a cruel and uncaring world. A world that destroys some young minds and empties their hearts , at a young age. That they wish they could be like their elders who finally understands life and the confusion of it all.
