Youth

We want to grow up, to take control of our lives, our failures, our successes,
We long and yearn for the future, for freedoms, for independence,
We wait to shuck off the limitations of young age, of immaturity and inexperience,
And in this longing we lose the moment, the now, the present,
Thus our youth, it passes unseen- in a whisper, a flash,
And once it's gone, we finally lose it... Forever.
We wish it back, we regret, we despair,
So we must live it, freely and wholly.

A/N: this is from my other piece, 'Cher Monde'. It's similar to Positive Thoughts Positive Life but there is a focus on the low moments of life. Essentially an honest reflection of life- the good and the bad. Check it out if you would like :)
