Sit on a Bench Poem

October 30, 2023
By Anonymous

I have always felt like an observer,

but recently more than usual.

I feel as if im more

on the sidelines of life,

cheering everyone on as they move forward

and achieve their goals.

I am always one step behind,

not in sports or school

but just life itself.

As I sit and watch everyone my age grow up

and already know what path they are taking,

I am sitting here overthinking my whole

future,

present,

and past self

and wondering why my life 

will never look the same as theirs.
