Dear Youth (Day 52)

The second hand looks like a knife

As it's counting down the rest of our lives

So hard to swallow

No steps to follow

It became so hard to survive

Dear Youth

What was your one big plan?

You made us believe

We had the world in our hands!

We left home

With nowhere to go

Facing our fears as we brave the unknown!

All I have to keep

Are these jaded old memories

From screams of how it used to be

I once was blind

But now I see

That words of rationality

Were wasted on me!

So I said goodbye

It's just a memory

That hasn't come to be

But I recognize

That if you’re on the right track

But catch the wrong train

Nothing ends the same

Dear Youth

What was your one big plan?

You made us believe

We had the world in our hands!

We left home

With nowhere to go

Facing our fears as we brave the unknown!

Dear Youth

Put back those thoughts in my head

The ones where I believe

That I am boundless again

I know we're at the end of the road

This is our story

This was our home

We were unbreakable!

Alive and well, the days are shrinking

Alive and well, each moment more fleeting

Alive and well, we gave our best

Alive and well, you know the rest!
