everything is unfamiliar
and lonely
you reminisce on what seems like your golden past
when you were younger
and carefree
look back at the smiling faces
in the rearview mirror
the people you loved so
you wonder if you can go back;
throw what you have out the window
the grey cityscape
the strange people
this empty feeling of longing
play your old songs
shut out the world and just sit
in the basketball court
after school on Friday
live day by day
watching sunsets on a skateboard
sweet purple bubbles on your tongue
but it wouldn’t be the same anymore
you don’t have what you used to
and you don’t have anything here yet
so you have nothing
going back feels like the right thing
and a failure, a step backwards
at the same time

Feels little sad living in the past, I wonder if you could show someone young how to live a happy life today as so many are missing what you have lived while they long for a future not yet seen.
yeah 🙂 it’s not necessarily only about my experience, but it’s really sad how some people can go so many years without properly living
so relatable, an age arrives in our lives when we reflect
more than we look forward
thanks for sharing

write your own truth, not what others 'demand' of you
let them write, 'if' they can
what they want to read
you just do you)
