Sit on a Bench Poem
October 30, 2023
I have always felt like an observer,
but recently more than usual.
I feel as if im more
on the sidelines of life,
cheering everyone on as they move forward
and achieve their goals.
I am always one step behind,
not in sports or school
but just life itself.
As I sit and watch everyone my age grow up
and already know what path they are taking,
I am sitting here overthinking my whole
future,
present,
and past self
and wondering why my life
will never look the same as theirs.
