Once Youth

Young and carefree, I want to be

Yet when I look at what it offers me

It turns me off, I seek to flee

That which tries to ruin me

Youth be pure, but not anymore

Modern time saw to that

No depth, just one big bore

I can’t believe I wanted that

Living in the moment is a dream

Living a bad one, a nightmare

I want my life and soul to keep

But I wouldn’t mind some better fare

Though some think all is lost

And there’s evidence to the case

I believe there’s a chance to save

Before it all covers up in frost
