Moonlight ( A collection of poems)

Goodbye youth

it feels almost as if i am grasping at life itself
as my heart beats faster i grow more anxious

What if I mess it  up?

my thoughts blur into a sea of what if's
and i play that game so well

Filling in scenarios with the craziest mad libs answers I can think of

i am getting older

a few months from adulthood

and it feels like a countdown to something terrible

i mourn the things i have yet to experience

the childhood that passed by in the blink of an eye

the things i never found the courage to say
like goodbye

The friends I've gained and lost along the way

Goodbye Camille
we were never able to sell a bottle of perfume

As we mischievously stole petals from the neighbors

And drowned them in water

attempting to sell it back to the ppl we "borrowed" from

Goodbye Jariah

Our friendship was the stuff grandmas cookies are made out of

warmth and love in its purest form

Even  sure things never seem to last

Goodbye Eric

I thought love was a plaything

A game you play when you're bored

And you got caught up in a fantasy that

engulfed us in flames as quickly as it sparked the first time we met

Goodbye Emma
Some things are left better unsaid

You fulfilled 2 roles in my life

my best friend and my worst influence

The only  regret I have now

Is that I did not let go of regrets sooner

I have to let go to hold on

to the things that shape the future

because the past is forever

Goodbye youth
