Nostalgia

by Abigail Gatz, Senior

Fall 2016

Funny concept

Freshmen can’t have it

Sophomores can’t begin to understand

Juniors can barely taste it

And seniors live within its state of being.

To question one's existence

Because nostalgia has hit home

Is not a new concept.

Yet do you stop and wonder

Why did you give an idea the authority?

Why is the driving force to not regret

To have fun, to let go?

When will we let the moment we are in marinate our soul

Then let our seasoning of momentary life

Dress the world by our actions.

Nostalgia

We all feel it

We all know it

We all hate it

We all love it

We all take it.
