just over two hours left

before I am no longer a child

officially

 

I have no memory

besides this moment

 

an undisclosed amount of time

before I am no longer a child

symbolically

 

The past and present go deep

and I do not want to dive in

on the side

afraid

always

a child

    This is an honest, open, bare poem where time is the enemy and there’s no way to save you.
