The Decisions of Youth

The decisions of youth define our lives
The actions we take effects us forever,
And keeps us living on this tight tether.

Through the actions of our youthful days
It will define how we live in our older days
And through the misty haze of life
We struggle and fight to find the light
That gives us strength when we need it most
But very few lights exist anymore
All alone,cold, with no where to go

It’s the best I can do, maintain my sanity
By keeping calm, defuse the bomb that is my life, catastrophe 
Youth is hardest time, the time to struggle, the time to die
As its the ever flowing course of life, that supplies us with this natural high

As the years pass us by we will start to wonder why, just why
That the decisions of youth are all just lies
It leaves me contemplating, engrossed in the fact
That my life is abstract, I wonder lost yet intact
