neither can they

10:39 PM

i know I'm human because

i laugh too hard

and i love too deep

and i cry when dogs die

and humans die

and hearts break

and for goodness sakes it hurts and it aches

it hurts

and it aches

i know I'm human because I just figured out that the reason leaves change in the fall is because they're dying

and nothing gold can stay

so neither can they

For real about the leaves, though. I think about that all the time.

i love how simple & straight forward your language is but it's still also extremely poetic

Nice allusion to Robert Frost's poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay." Very very impressive! I loved the line about coming to learn why leaves change color. I love the last two lines. I just love this a lot. Great job! Keep alluding to other poems. It brings so much more meaning without having to say anything more.
