17 has never felt so old

Why is it that I am so young
Yet I feel already left behind.
I'm 17 and fear that I have created nothing to be remembered for.
The thought keeps me up at night.
As if if I don't sleep
I wont age.
But time moves on anyway
And I age another day.
In the grand scheme of life I have lived barely a fraction.
I am in a race for success
running out of breath by only the thought.
So I lose feel of my hands
And connection to my creations.

  1. It’s good to learn to feel comfortble within yourself…at any stage in your life.. You see it as you are running out of time, and I see you as someone so young who already can express herself through Poetry…I think you are in a very good spot..to grow every day within your chosen craft… You already show talent and thinking below the surface….:)🌹🦋🌺
