After youth

Thought

By Brian Wong Published 7 days ago 1 min read

I am no longer a

spiritually active young person

or rather, I am a young person

but I am listless all day long

The voice is the first part to degenerate

such as swearing, blushing

Then comes biological decay

such as hair loss, low bones, loose skin

Something called disease

crawled all over my body

Finally, it returns to mental fatigue

Any encounter

is magnified into embarrassment and unbearable

I just feel that

all people in the universe

are dead after being young
