Being suddenly reminded of the cold, bitter fact that one day you will no longer occupy this earth.
All you have is their words, their photos, their paintings, their legacy left behind.
The sudden fear that the relationships you have with the people around you lack depth.
Yaroslav Blokhin
Realizing that right now, you are happy.
A deep pain that stems from realizing you will never see how the future plays out.
An ever-present reminder that you are here.
Marisa Donnelly is a poet and author of the book,Somewhere on a Highway, availablehere.
