This Christmas
This christmas,
I have received the most, ever.
I finally got my light-up reindeer,
only to find its moving head creepy.
The front yard is finally lit up with lights,
but I don't have time to appreciate it.
I received a hammock,
but theres no time to lay in it.
I got my long awaited macbook,
only to find it burdening with untold expectations.
Unexpectedly, i also got a 6s.
I panicked over the the color for an hour.
It doesn't feel like christmas
its 12:19 now. officially December 25th,
yet I'm still writing college essays.
I’m eighteen now,
truly, its my first adult christmas
and it has lost its magic.
I had no time to anticipate
the excitement, the feelings
of Christmas.
I'm trying to hold on,
but I only have two hands.
This, to my materialistic youth,
should have been the best christmas. Ever.
yet, in reality, it might have been the worst.

Today, I suddenly realized how perfect this Christmas should have been. I already recieved so much as early presents, but I'm not excited at all. The impending college and future uncertainty looms over me. I'm scared to take a break and enjoy what I have. Christmas has become just another day to write more essays, study more AP questions. It has lost its magic. I have been thrust into the adult world.
