Poems Of This Teenager 2012-present

Higher

I could reach a thousand stars, If I wanted

Stretch my arms as far as I could and still not reach the sun

Yet when just think about such a simple goal I cannot simply think of way to simply reach it

If this goal is so simple,why haven't I reached it?

If learning is as simple as flipping a page.

Then shouldn't I of learned everything in a couple of days?

If a goal is short term, shouldn't it be reached within a minute,a hour, a second?

This is how my generation works

Time is everything yet we want to rush it til it runs out of breath before its even finished the finish line

We waste so much time looking at things that can be finished now on but we sit and stare at them now

Things we learn today will be obsolete tommorow, the stress we experience today will not be in advantage of anything but the past

Now if things were a bit simpler like back in the day we wouldn't have this problem

Progress is progress but progress is going faster than a speeding bullet,faster than we can dodge those tests, that homework and those romances so to speak

I could reach the sky if I wanted but first I have to get that degree and then I would have the train for the life of me

Even then I would not touch the sky, I would be heading through it in a rocket ship ready to go to Mars

I would be sitting and blasting off into space and time

Yet the time I used would be only the moment of me getting close to the sky

What does that say about progress and my goals?

Is it worthy of me and my time to spend my life searching for answers when there are enough questions to go around?

What will happen when all the questions have been answered?

Could I go any higher?
