“Always set the bar high. You may not be able to reach the bar, but at least you would have jumped higher to try and reach the bar than you would have if the bar was set low.” ~ someone in a meeting


Five thousand four hundred and seventy eight days

Inched closer to day of death

Flimsy little children no longer i am

This year in rather insignificance

Eternity more is yet to live

Escape is far for hell i stay

Next is sixteen, sweet i pray


The author's comments:

This poem is about the value of being fifteen years old. One has lived a good amount of time to mature and understand the world and its truth. But how important is being fifteen? There is still a lot more to live but simultaneously time is ticking. Fifteen is not an easy year, but sixteen is the one that gets the attention. Fifteen simply exists. 

 

Note: the calculated number of days (5,478) includes 12 regular years and 3 leap years (365*12 + 366*3 = 5,478 days)
