The First Day of My Preconceived Life

The first day of my preconceived life A ding alerted me my class was cancelled "Read the syllabus and skip today Don't forget to show up an hour late If you miss the class you're kicked." The first day of your preconceived life The wind strips air from your lungs Time settles into a whirlwind of fast and slow And you are reminded that you will never be apart Of your preconceived life But that's just the anxiety talking Don't worry darling the day will be fine Grab a coffee to shake yourself out of your skin Sit down and pretend like you aren't desperate to Disappear The first day of your preconceived life You will not be present

Brilliant i like how you’ve delivered your thoughts and a message for the readers, sometimes we jus should go with the flow and i cant help but state that that opening is so nostalgic lol reminds me of uni days and school days! When classes get cancelled its like the best ever. Loved reading this
