don’t grow old
live in your youth
for as long as you can
you’ll know the moment you lost it
the sharp turn
of letting go
the beauty in your eyes is shattered
the thought of the future
frightens you to your core
a bright light on the horizon
don’t live in the past
those better dates
are long gone
the end is closer than ever before
another day to wake
is not guaranteed
so listen to your elders
don’t grow old
stay young
forever
