Elizabeth - Atmosphere


In the atompshere…..
There are lots of things
Planets
Stars
Sky
Clouds
Everything is there
Just floating
Not really doing anything
But still really important
 There’s a feeling that you are alone
But you’re not
You have other people
And animals
And plants
And everything else on the Earth
That is just the Earth, you are forgetting about
Everything else in the entire universe
So do not feel that you are alone
Even though there is loneliness in the air
For everything in the atmosphere
Feels that way too
Feeling useless
But still so incredibly important 

Elizabeth, age 16
