About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

Prompt: “If you could live forever, would you want to be a child, adolescent or an adult? I want to know,” says Megan.
----------
Definitely an adult because my personal freedoms are important to me.
A child, even a pampered one, has only a few rights and, as in the case of most children, whatever rights children have, those rights are always in danger of being trampled upon.
An adolescent is not much better either, and possibly worse, as the person feels in-between the adult world and childhood. On top of that, adolescents have to deal with the changes in their bodies and the effects of those changes. In addition, most adults are not sympathetic for and considerate of an adolescent’s hardships.
An adult, on the other hand, doesn’t depend any single person or a group for his or her wellbeing. Even for emotional support, the adult has the right and the capacity to change his or her surroundings and the people he or she deals with. An adult has more responsibilities, true, but if he or she has really grasped the meaning and the value of adulthood, he or she knows that a lot more freedoms come with adulthood than they do to an adolescent or a child.
Come to think of it, no one likes to see a person in an adult body acting like a child or an adolescent. Even if the body stayed forever a child or an adolescent, I would still like to be an adult in an adult body.
