Human Life

I didn’t know what life was

I didn’t know what the world was

I didn’t know what humans looks like

I didn’t know what milk was

I didn’t know what eating was

I started seeing change on my body

I didn’t know what sounds were like

I didn’t know what babysitters did

I still cried either way

I started getting taller

I started noticing others my size

I didn’t know what kindergarten was

I didn’t know what parent permission was

I didn’t know what writing was

I didn’t know what homework was

I didn’t know what friends will bring in life

I wanted to play all day

I didn’t know what actual work was

Then there was elementary school

I had an idea of what was going on

I got puzzled sometimes

I asked my parents for help

They then turn me to my siblings

Then there was middle school

I didn’t know what projects was

I didn’t know what copying was

I didn’t know what extra help was

I didn’t know what group work was

I didn’t know people can be so rude

I didn’t know people can be mean

I didn’t know what best friends was

I didn’t know what graduation was

Then there was high school

I have never been sooo lost in a building

Everything seemed sooo real

Everything seemed sooo clear

I didn’t know what bullying was

I didn’t know what sucide was

I don’t know what death was

People around me started dying

I will cry when I hear that some is dead or dying

I learned that Death is a natural thing

That is what happens living in this natural world

Then everything became clear

College

Internships

Work

Marriage

Family

Stress

Retirement

Death
