youth

there’s a certain immortality to youth

waking up with vodka induced stomach aches next to a boy i shouldn’t have kissed the first time

but definitely should have the second

it occurs to me in this light soaked living room that there a million more mornings like this in my future

that my life stretches out before me in a never ending stream of vices and virtues

breakups and breakdowns

high nights and low times

and none of it will kill me

i will just keep going

this cigarette will not kill me

this 10th drink will not kill me

nothing can

standing here looking at the sunset with nothing but tequila and him in my stomach it occurs to me

that i am unkillable

i just keep rising
