Thoughts, Never Words. (Poetry Collection)

Eighteen.

He is eighteen.
Just eighteen.
At this age, you are legally an adult.
Childhood is over.

School is no longer a playground that once opened up the eyes
of our children to new wonders.

It is a battlefield of exams and grades.
It is the constant war,
between saving yourself
and saving your future.

What they don't know is that saving yourself is saving your future.
It is ensuring himself that maybe if he skips today he will live to see a tomorrow.
