Paulyne Johnston Poet Free verse

Forever Young

As I cling on to hope
With all my being.
Refusing to believe
this inevitable inconvenience.  

For what gain does it serve me 
To recognise this pain
Becoming weak 
While it’s solace I earnestly seek 

I know another way!
I declare 
What is this way?
 you say

I will not look with mine eyes.
Or speak with this tongue.
As I determine 
 to stay forever young.
