Youth

I would be electrified
I would be electrifying
You think lightly
But in time
I'll be gravity defying

It takes time
It takes time
I know you think I'm lying
But you wait right there
Cuz I'm praying and I'm trying

I can feel it in my bones:
My heart beats with what makes lightning

Liked this immediately -- and entirely. Thanks for posting. Great use of simplistic elements to construct something much more complex.

Great rhythm. I could almost hear the song of it. It took me back to when I set out on my dreams almost a decade ago.

I agree with the song-like comment! I was composing the music in my head as I was reading!

Great rhythm to the poem, making it almost song-like. Youth is a transition from childhood to adulthood, and it's amazing how many adults seem to forget how it was when they were youths and growing into their own skin. Hopefully this poem can help remind them that they were young like that once upon a time. Great post.

Sounds like my sons. They think they can do anything and sometimes they make a believer out of me.
