Favorite Quote:
I don't know if this is supposed to be a quote by me but this is Oscar Wilde: "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."


I am too young o be writing a eulogy,

For I am only fifteen.

I am too young to watch a casket,

Lowered into the ground,

For I am only fifteen.

I am far too young to be wearing black,

At a podium,

Next to my dead friend,

Whom I loved dearly,

I am far too young to be saying this right now,

For I am only fifteen.

Grief will one day be relevant to us all until then it swallows me whole.
