Today was a good day
And I was not forgotten
I was filled with zeal and a gladness that will not suspend
I will burst out in a fit of laughter
With tears in my eyes and
A heart made of sighs
Relaxing sighs
Today was something I enjoy
A light hearted day that felt like
Grade nine
We spoke of truths untold and of silly glamorous ideas
We laughed until our lungs had burst and we wheezed in a glorious spirit
We breathed in the air of life and enjoyed every moment fully
Today is a day I wish all were like
No stress in the world
Not a pyre that destroys our sweet innocence and bursts of joy
I seek to live in a furnace where I may indulge in my youth
I seek to have memorable times
That will never be forgotten
I seek to stay this young
Or perhaps to just indulge
And find my last youthful days sufficient enough
Before the years of trials to come
Where life is one big conundrum
For now, I will drink from my fountain of youth
And ooze with a spirit of fresh renewal and rejuvenation
I will feel alive while I still can
I will never allow man to make me numb
For I will not succumb to his daft requests
To show a dreary pretense of adult behavior
And maturity
No, I choose to enjoy my youth
And ooze a facade of confidence from within
For I am young
And this is my last year of it
And I will
Indulge in this spirit.
