Endless Yesterday, I Search For Youth Again...

Youth must be compared to spring: adventerous,
carefree,memorable and innocent;
ah,but many have surrendered it 
to irresistible desires...
only to regret it
in later years!

Endless yesterday,I search for youth again...
always to immerse myself
in the lost flavor of my innocence
that time snatches away,
with force and cruelty,
from teenagers facing a frightful reality!

With ages,comes wisdom...though only a few
acquire it, and look forward to the outcome
of such a fine virtue;
others lose their sense of identity or
dignity by not foreseeing tragedies,
but being satisfied with mere consolations!

Endless yesterday,I search for youth again:
laughing,singing,smiling 
and looking for tomorrow;
but none of the visions have changed,
and the enthusiasm alone
gives me better insights without time to borrow!
