THE DASH
When I go to the cemetery I see all these tombstones with names written on them and also written on them are these two dates that seem so important and these two dates represent the day of their birth and the day of their death but in the middle of it is this dash that represents their whole life living it. This line represents their whole existence and looking at it makes me wonder of all the more important dates and stories hidden inside of that line. Like, their first date, first kiss, first heartbreak. In that one short straight line between the day of their birth and the day of their death was their life that I imagined they had fully lived.
I wrote a bunch of poetry back in 2017, it was all over the place. So, I finally retrieved it from my old broken laptop and some were from my old journal pages that I may have forgotten about.
