My body shivers as it sinks
into the cold, dark water.
My head still above the surface.
I try to escape its grasp.
The grasp that pushes me under.
I flail my arms.
I scream.
But nothing works.
I go unheard.
Its stronger.
More powerful.
It fights me with my depression.
BAM!
I sink further.
It fights me with my demise.
BAM!
I sink further.
It fights me my anxiety.
BAM!
I finally hit it.
My feet upon glass shards.
Stuck in between my toes.
Piercing my feet.
The dark water around me
fused with my pain
and turned red.
I tried to escape it
but it was inevitable.

Age
Take with wisdom and dignity the counsel of the years - If your able, If you possess true courage, And real wisdom. These are not the acts of heroism and princely tales. These are not the stories of which volumes will be written To be studied in leather bound books for centuries hence. It is instead to be utterly forgotten to mediocrity, to die before death takes us. And accept it with glee.

The Gen Z Entrepreneurial Revolution
It is hardly debatable that the world has always been run by a bunch of aging dinosaurs, mostly male, who refuse to allow the younger generation to bring about changes. Politicians and leaders everywhere refuse to release the reigns of creativity and leadership until they are dead or dying. It is time to give the young a chance to revolutionize and change the entire landscape of their existence. Those of us with one foot in the grave, so to speak, should wake up and realize that we are not the ones who will be living in the world in the years to come.
