Young

What is it to be young?

To be young is to be reckless

Careless, and bold

It's tearing up rulebooks and disdain for the old

To be young is to be foolish

No guilt, no regrets

It's flirting with boundaries and deciding what's best

To be young is to be restless

Uncertain, unstable

It's finding excuses to be excused from the table

To be young is to be weightless,

Unburdened and free

It's defining the future, defining you and me

[The Calm Scribe]

Great poem, if I could offer a suggestion I would say to add in punctuation. The lines give breaks, but the punctuation still needs to be there to give flow. As well perhaps do not capitalize each new line, try offsetting the type instead. ie.:

To be young is to be reckless,
careless, and bold.
It is tearing up rulebooks........
