I Told The Universe I Exist And I Don't Need Reply

I feel older now
At least older than 16
The world seems like it's so much smaller
Yet there's so much I haven't seen

My siblings are ahead of me
And have long since passed me by
I just wish I wanted something
I wish I would let myself try

Summer is fading to nothingness
And soon I'll be starting Junior Year
I wish I could just overcome
What it is that I fear

I haven't the slightest motivation
But I hate wasting time
The only thing I have ever liked
Is making the universe rhyme

But it's unnatural and it's absurd
To think that I have a say
In how the universe sounds
But I wish there was a way

I told the universe that I exist
And I might get a reply
But for now I'll sit staring
At a bright blue lifeless sky
