Today I said,
"Between J and jobs
I swear I'll die 10 years earlier"
But oh I'm ALIVE.
My heart may be racing,
But I can finally
Feel it BEATING again.
She's pounding.
She's thumping.
And my world is ablaze
And alive.
I'm basking
In the anxiety and the excitement
Of new love
And budding feelings.
New jobs
And unfolding new realties.
What a time to be 21 and alive
What a time to be graduating
What a time to feel my heart
Within me
Collapsing in on itself
Day by day.
