when i was young

i wrote this almost two years ago. and i kind of always loved it.


Life comes at you with speed and agility. Well, actually, that’s not true. You have got a great many years ahead of you. And when you grow older you'll look back at your highschool years and remember all your silly antics and bursts of laughter and smile at your glory days. And wish you had made you life worth while as you sit there on your couch staring at the mind numbing screen set before you, listening to it preach about the pain and trauma caused by other cursed people on earth. Wondering whether you could have really become a surgeon or joined the Peace Corps or how Venice would have looked like in person. And you'll see your brood of selfish children grow up to be hateful and scared against the world. And wonder how they came to worry about global warming when they are only five years old. And then, you will have a beautiful end. Because really, self preservation and survival isn’t all that its cracked up to be when you're alone in Shady Acres Home For the Elderly.
