A Poem

I’ve come to realize that I am nothing in only the most positive way An enlightening, an awakening and a full-on realization that in two hundred years I will just be a distant memory of only those in my familial line No one else will speak of me or give me a second thought I will not be a thought I will only be dust

There’s something freeing in what I’ve come to realize That no matter how great I do or how many times I fail the honest truth is that virtually no one will ever know, much less remember, anything about me I will not be a memory I will be air

I’ve come to realize that most people want to be somebody and have a whole lot of trouble accepting the fact that they are not As if their life, their parenthood, their minimal social imprint, is meaningless without a badge And maybe that’s the problem with modern society that we have I am not somebody I am just some body

So it’s sweet and all to have a place for daily memories like Instagram Stories but I just want to remind you that in two hundred years no one is going to care about the kale smoothie you made for breakfast on June 18, 2020, the year that things changed

What I’ve come to realize is that the universe is far too vast to recognize me as more than just a tiny speck of errant molecules all pushing toward oblivion and even when I get there my Dad will be waiting to remind me that it was all nothing and that the only thing that mattered was how I felt about myself
