I Remember Being Young (Inspired At Starbucs#4)
I remember being young
I write this at age 19
so those of you reading this
already have a educated smile
forming
which is okay
just listen
I remember being young
seeing the world as a large
playground of new experiences
new things to try
now that I think about it
innocence was involved
Adam and Eve
Before
the
Fall
prancing around the garden
eating all we saw
back when the only talk of
sex was our leaders
we put all of things
that contradicted our
youthful lifestyle, projected
it on him.
The Forbidden Fruit not
taken by him, but thrown
forced even if he didn't like it
until it became accustomed
that all drama, all infringements
on innocents was his product
like a kettle about to burst
a cup slowly filling up w/H2o
it must fall apart
it must overflow
it must end
we grew up
and now I, still in the town
of my youth
I remember being young
