Time Can Freeze Youth Indefinitely

This vain wish to live longer, somewhere, makes me struggle with my vulnerability of having been born with the fear of dying... and before that is accomplished: let me live! I've been told, " It's not possible that time can freeze youth indefinitely," but that intricate illusion was too persistent and real; this boy always believed it would have never faded... now being sorrowful and old, I realize how untrue and contrived it was! Be convivial and consume your time wisely, don't hold the conviction that over-the-hill is the end; you've gathered all the knowledge to survive another year, and on your calendar mark every birthday and celebrate... I will do the same believing that I'd continue walking in eternity as when youth froze time to contradict an undeserved fate without connoting wrong, but being congrous and fair... oh, youth your concession has compensated me for that loss! I should be miserable as anybody else...lamenting and lashing, but what good it would do if not harm me and shorten these days? I enjoy every moment that life gives me...being hopeful for more to come; others cuss, slander and end life demolishing all they had built in their past! I denote my achievements as milestones that everyone will remember, and certainly I'll be sought after for the secrets my words will unfold; and their purpose and extent are very conceivable to the scholar and reader... not deploring the naive idea that time can freeze youth indefinitely.
