Reality
By: Fatima Hernandez
 
Out of breath chasing my friends. 
Sweat running down my forehead. 
Eating while rushing to go play. 
My best friend squeezing orange juice 
into his mouth. 
The screams of kids having fun.
​
Silence.
​
What has happened? 
Why am I alone? 
I look around and see 
a lonely figure sitting down. 
"You're probably wondering 
why you're alone." 
They were right. 
"Trust me. It's better being alone. 
I am you from the future." 
This shocked me very much. 
"I've come to warn you 
and make sure you stay safe 
on what's to come." 
I felt scared, but I stayed safe 
all alone.
