I May Be 21
I looked at a world around me
Yes I’m young,
Still I’m wounded.
I have learnt
You look at me
And see a beginning of the life
The radiance of youth
A soul so alive
A page still white
Sparks in those glowing eyes
The carefree smile
Still
There’s much more
Who says you’ve got to be forty
For you to realize
That it’s possible
To smile,
With tear filled eyes
That there are weak moments
Between the long times you’ve stood high and proud
Like mountains
That there is a single moment
Between holding on tightly
And letting go
Who says you’ve got to be forty
To know that the same heart
Could love with passion
Yet hate and hate
To find out that two eyes
See the world as heaven today
And get lost
In the same world
When it seems like the darkest place tomorrow
Who says you’ve got to be forty
To learn the secrets of souls
How they could hold so much courage and faith
Then break down so easily
And be driven by the Selfishness life forces
Yet the empathy embedded there
Love that’s God given
Still lies within
How there’s a thin thread
Between care
And indifference
Just like there is
Between emptiness
And fulfillment
How you can be lost in the crowd
Still it doesn’t change the loneliness
That’s within
That all the noise that surrounds you
Cant shake the silence
Sometimes all it takes
Is being 21
Yes I’m young,
Still I’m wounded.
I have learnt
You look at me
And see a beginning of the life
The radiance of youth
A soul so alive
A page still white
Sparks in those glowing eyes
The carefree smile
Still
There’s much more
Who says you’ve got to be forty
For you to realize
That it’s possible
To smile,
With tear filled eyes
That there are weak moments
Between the long times you’ve stood high and proud
Like mountains
That there is a single moment
Between holding on tightly
And letting go
Who says you’ve got to be forty
To know that the same heart
Could love with passion
Yet hate and hate
To find out that two eyes
See the world as heaven today
And get lost
In the same world
When it seems like the darkest place tomorrow
Who says you’ve got to be forty
To learn the secrets of souls
How they could hold so much courage and faith
Then break down so easily
And be driven by the Selfishness life forces
