The Young

The Young by Rob Hood©1-23-09

I SPED THROUGH

MY EARLY LIFE

IN A TIZZY.

IT SURPRISES

ME NOW

THAT I DIDN'T

GET DIZZY.

YOUNG PEOPLE

MOVE FORWARD

WITHOUT A

TRUE AIM

BEFORE THEY REALIZE

THAT LIFE IS A GAME

WHERE RULES APPLY.

YOU MEET MANY

STANDARDS BEFORE

YOU DIE.

AFTER A WHILE

LIFE'S MEANINGS

START TO

COME CLEAR

AND THEN WE

ENJOY THE

THINGS THAT

WE HOLD DEAR.

WE MAY ONLY LIVE

LIFE BUT ONE TIME

AND THEN WE

ARE SUCKED INTO

THE PRIMAL SLIME.

BUT, PERHAPS

WE'LL RETURN UNTIL

WE GET THINGS RIGHT.

HOPING FOR THAT

MAKES MY

DISPOSITION

BRIGHT!

I'D LIKE TO

KEEP TRYING

TILL I SUCCEED

A FIGHT TO

THE FINISH

IS MY CREED.

I WISH I COULD TO

MY YOUNG LIFE RETURN

FILLED WITH THE

INSIGHTS OF ALL

I HAVE LEARNED!
