Youth

Memorial Day 2006

Great Older Poem. :)

When I was young,

I use to be insecure,

I use to be shy.

I use to be picked on,

I use to feel awful.

Chorus:

When I was young,

I use to daydream all the time

About how great a utopia would be.

I use to be so afraid of the real world

That I created a world out of my fantasies.

I had no sense of direction,

I was lost…

I was behind the rest of the boys,

It seemed like it took me years to catch up.

Even when I was in High School,

I still felt like I was a little boy.

A little boy who was surrounded

By a bunch of bigger, scary men.

Chorus

Well, I’m not a little boy anymore

And this man is coming to get you.

When I was young,

I use to think about the day I would become a man.

Even if I’m not a man as I write this,

I’m a man when I finish this.
