# Opposites **Published by:** [Not a Rehearsal](https://paragraph.com/@not-a-rehearsal/) **Published on:** 2023-07-27 **URL:** https://paragraph.com/@not-a-rehearsal/opposites ## Content These are the thoughts that dance through my sleepless nights ..And then slowly crawl all over my drowsy days Age passing, and I wasn't a kid enough..Playfulness, crushed under experience Being so young for so long..Youth’s anxiety outpacing age’s wisdom Not going for what’s worth pursuing Not being worth pursuing Not allowing love to ameliorate the cruelty of my nature Caring for people and things over which I have no control Becoming estranged and distant Suffocating from attention Disappearing from this earth, childless Leaving behind me an orphaned child Being less than what the world deserves Being more than what people can comprehend ## Publication Information - [Not a Rehearsal](https://paragraph.com/@not-a-rehearsal/): Publication homepage - [All Posts](https://paragraph.com/@not-a-rehearsal/): More posts from this publication - [RSS Feed](https://api.paragraph.com/blogs/rss/@not-a-rehearsal): Subscribe to updates ## Optional - [Collect as NFT](https://paragraph.com/@not-a-rehearsal/opposites): Support the author by collecting this post - [View Collectors](https://paragraph.com/@not-a-rehearsal/opposites/collectors): See who has collected this post
