Circus Dog

Circus Dog

A Poem by Nathan the Sane
"

I have high hopes for my future (at least I had). My sister's are higher.

"
I don't understand what I want from my life.
I just passed eighteen a few months ago.
(Wait, that was half a year ago? When did that happen?)
I started working, and I'm learning how that works.
I'm trying to understand banks.
And bills.
And 'Current Events'.
In a few months I'll be enlisted to the army
(It's mandatory here)
And I don't know what they want.
I don't know what I want.
I feel stupid.
And afraid.
And alone.
I feel so very
very
small.

My sister told me she wants to be a circus dog when she grows up.
