Have I Though?

by Karin Erlacher   May 23, 2022


He said "You've lived a full life"
But what constitutes living?
What does that really mean?
Is it regarding the places I've seen
The faces I've met or the need
To be an adrenaline queen
Chasing down that soft green
Grass to soak up the sun like a fiend?
To push past these limits deemed
To keep me safe from those who intervene
And intertwine the lines between
Being a mom as a teen
And fulfilling all of my dreams?
Running on caffeine
Fuel for the societal machine
Because what other choice did I have?
