In the Attic

Silly things you cared about
Float into the sea
Careless words and layabouts
Pass without a plea
But you’ll come to see
Those silly things you should shout about
Those lazy days are worth the praise
Those careless words have matured
To beg and plead, to beg and plead
By Jung Min Park
Jung Min Park writes on paper, and draws on it too, he wakes up late, and presses snooze.
Such a simple but deep poem. The rhyming in the poem (and in the author's bio!) immediately draws me in. The poem overall makes me think about growing up and how we tend to brush off a lot of the growing pains or lessons as "silly" or "careless," but they still have played an integral part in who we have become. I would love to hear more from the poet and his inspiration!
