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

I could follow you up until the last stanza-it is interesting to see a youth looking over his shoulder. & the way "the leader" carries the aspirations of his fellows. What became "accustomed"? how did he "infringe" innocents?
