Youthful You by Christopher ShinMy time has come and
gone like the seasons
that saunters in
with much confidence.
Yet I turn and wonder
as I watch the
youthful images
dance and glitter
with such pride.
Was I that bold?
To stand amongst
my peers to admire
the pretty colors
as they blended
and stole pieces
of my heart?
Slowly I try
to become like them,
but I know that
my time is gone.
My admiration
merely a desire
to be youthful
or am I still confused
as to the youth
I was or could
never be. 10/04/2008 Posted on 10/04/2008 Copyright © 2025 Christopher Shin
