J’ai Besoin de Savoir! (A Short Poem)

are you a young adult
or are you Atlas?

for you carry it all — done so for years.
you hold it all together and i should be inspired, but i’m terrified.

are you a young adult
or are you Atlas?

for you seem so graceful — every checkbox marked. you dangerous god in camouflage.

work and friendships and growth and life; all rotating as scheduled in the solar system of your life. how?

you horrify me, and i want to be you.
