I’ve always held my creative side dear to me. 

Cherishing every spur of creativity, 

However I still took this feeling for granted. 

When the stress of the word planted–

I've been thinking recently a lot about my time on screens, and how it seems like I can't escape my phone and other technology.

Every day when we stand for the pledge, I feel like a curtain has fallen over me,  

holding me down. 

I remember who is president for the next four years. 

And I want to cry. 

Green is my favorite color,

It's the color of the life on earth,

the color of the natural beauty everywhere.

I couldn't live without green,

I think you are my green,

“Just grow up.” “Take your time.” “You won’t be a teenager forever.” Good, I don’t want to be. Always stressing about due dates, or tests, or studying, or the future, or absolutely anything at this point.
