Too Young, Too Old II (A Shakespearian Sonnet)


Am I too you to be a laureate?

Am I too old to start a new career?

I'm too young and should cease exploring it

I'm too old to conquer a new frontier

I'm too young to have proper reflection

And too old not to have found my purpose

Too young not to have some imperfections

Too old not know that lifes not worthless

Too young to have experienced so much

But I am too old to have lived so little

I am too young to have witnesessed death's touch

Heaven or hell too old for the middle

Whether young or old however it seems

I know that I can accomplish my dreams
