I Have Thoughts in the Morning

13

now at 13 

we laugh at our moms who lose their phone

with it still up to their ear

who remember details 

but not the ideas

still

whether we like it or not

the days of middle age will come

catch up to us all 

in the end it's a cheetah racing a snail

It may look bad

we want to stay young 

but we what we are 

one day we will start to wither

engulfed in the natural force of life

people say age is just a number

they are only refusing to look their predator in the eye

at the end of the day

why not give in to the cheetah
