Youth

You say being young is energizing

It’s great to be young

Carefree, and jubilant

Experiencing the world with our own eyes before the adults insist we need glasses to help us see

But youth isn’t what you think it is because...

Youth is rushing to grow up and

Youth is you should know better than that, you’re 10!

and youth is it’s time to start growing up and

youth is never just have fun since

it’s always do your schoolwork so you can succeed in life

and youth isn’t endless days of summer, ending with roasting marshmallows around an open flame and a perfect family, as the sleepy sun casts a golden glow on the world because

Youth is pressure from

Friends

Family

Teachers

Neighbors and

they’re all watching

and they’re done saying Aw, she’s cute

By the time you can walk and talk, they’ve moved on to saying isn’t she a little old to be doing that? because

Youth is a enervating battle to be older

but to stay young

some wonder why youth is wasted on the young, and to that I wonder

why those who wish to be young waste the youth of the young.
