Forever Young
Fearless and ignorant
Consumed by curiosity
Like a child, I am unadorned
with the burdens of hate
Regardless of years surrendered
Or intellectual opulence
I find no comfort
In self-indulgence
Days are filled with intrigue
Adventures born of imagination
Youth is the leash
Tethering the soul
Conscience confides
with reason
Neither holds the key
To peace of mind
Hope is never-ending
A virtue paid in full
With calloused hands
And a strong will
