Chasing Youth
Why do we think it’s so bad?
The best thing I have ever had
I was selfish and dumb
Not knowing the true outcome
I was young and carefree
Thinking nothing could stop me
Feeling on top of the world
But not knowing I was in a dream world
Now I am young but not carefree
Life is like a boulder rolling right at me
I try everything to get out of the way
If only I was more thankful yesterday
I was always in a rush to grow up
But I wasn’t ready for that bitter cup
I would give anything to be young again
And all I can do now is complain
Wishing to be rid of responsibilities
And once again have that tranquility
Sadly, it’s too late for wishes
And Life will continue to be vicious
Don’t run from you youth
One day it will be the one thing you won’t be able to catch
