Life Approches

Perhaps these are just my odd thoughts

But life is approaching

And 2,782 high schoolers in our district

Each have their own plans.

It’s weird to think about

About how simple everyone

Is to themselves

But when you think about

About almost 3,000 people

3,000 plans

3,000 lives

3,000 lives.

A week to themselves

A week of whatever

A week where you go to your family

Or some of you don’t.

It’s sad to think that

720 of those students

Don’t have a home to go to

A family to be warm with

A bed to sleep on

A decent life to live

And constant thoughts of ending it

All.

When you enjoy your life,

For the love of god, appreciate the hell out of it.

Because a quarter of your peers cannot.

They are on the streets

In the rain

On the edge

In the night

On a bench

Alone

Never take your good life for granted.

Never throw away an opportunity

To have fun and make memories

With your family

Because you have one

Count yourself lucky

That night your dad shouted at you

Get the f**k over it

Because that’s family

And they’ll be there

Your life isn’t anyone else’s

A time to come together

Regardless of how old you are

How tired you are

How much you ‘hate’ your mother for taking away your phone.

Don’t take life for granted.

You will regret it,

And for the love of god,

You don’t want to miss a moment.

When you die, you won’t be thinking of what you were able to do

What you were able to accomplish

The time you spent with your family

You will be thinking about that time in your room

On your phone

Your TV

Alone on your bed.

You’ll be lying there

Regretting those moments

Regretting what you didn’t do

Regretting not doing something

So never miss a moment

Of what could be your life

It’ll be gone in a flash

Don’t take it for granted.

Never, ever take it for granted.
