Build

Ever since a young child I wondered

What are humans built out of?

Now fifteen I can answer 

We are built out of tragedies 

Grief 

And love

Tragedies and grief shape us into who we are 

We learn that nothing lasts for eternity 

That everything eventually disappears into only our memories

We Cherish every moment of breathing

We laugh as hard as we can 

We enjoy our time here on earth

We see the world in a much more defeatist way

We know that nothing lasts forever

We become miserable at our highs

And blissful at our lows

Love helps us recover 

We walk through yellow flowers

We dance until we feel drunk

Until the flowers turn black

And we feel sober

We go back again

And continue to build
