The secret to being young


I’m at that point where I just want everyone to leave me alone I get it I'm just a teenager that know nothing about life Though my life hasn’t really started yet I still have managed to mess it up I don’t know what I did wrong but I did it Wait I know… I was young I am young And I did young things Do young things People always say youth is wasted on the young But that’s just because we aren’t allowed to enjoy it Is this really the high point of my life? I'm mean why to people keep telling me that? Is life really all downhill from here? From where I'm seeing it… the best is yet to come But that’s jus me again being young and stuff Saying stupid young things Intertwine with hope for a brighter future… I know the adult thing would be to recognize that my life is over But I'm not an adult yet Not really Being young is not an age thing It’s a hope thing And I intend to be young for a very long time

I wrote this poem while I was doing scholarships for college. I was being told very often that I was not doing enough to get the money I needed to go to school. I felt as though I was being told that my life was over. So i wrote this poem in response...I hope you like it
