I am Youth

I am rebellious
I am insidious
You can call me:
Youth

I am not afraid to make mistakes
I am not even afraid to repeat them
But I am afraid my friend
You will be afraid to embrace me

Get careless now before it’s too later
Too late to run around in the rain
Or make your heart beat faster
When you catch a glimpse of someone special
Once I am gone my friend,
You will miss me.

Make plenty of friends because
A couple of them might save you
From becoming an old loner
And don’t be afraid to fall in love
Because only I can show you,
How to smile at someone’s thought.

So, take my advice
Love the ones you love
Care for the ones you care
Don’t hide your emotions while I am here,
Because I will be gone too soon
And you will be old, wrinkled and listless

I do not know when I will leave
But you will know when I do
Yet it’s certain, or rather sad
I. Will. Leave you.

I wish I could stay around forever,
I wish I could have everything right now, forever.
Yet, I am not naïve enough to realize
It will change. I will change.
You will change.
