The Fantastical Youth and Letting It Go

Reminisce me as you learn to let go

Hopeful flights but now you don’t know

Invincible I was, so boundless and free

My actions took shapes in parts of three

Fearless I was with no precautions to aid

Compact strength full on renegade

Resistance to all that try to maintain

the systematic codes of a society in chains

Farewell is far from where I’ll be

In times of need, you will need me

My strength, my valor, my armored coat

My breath will be your endless float

I rose at dawn when light hit your eyes

And I will set at dusk when you lay down to die

Embrace me once, reject me twice

I am your ultimate sacrifice

You searched for me through myths and serums

Your memories of me was a high on delirium

Now your time has taken its place

Through the lines and wrinkles on your face

And you search for me to live again

But death will always be our end.

This piece has a nice rhythm and a sophisticated feel. The story gives off the essence of a wake up call from someone who has come to serious realization. I enjoyed it. Thank you :) I.I.

[Raven Wyntermoon]

Yes! It is definitely a wake call as this poem was about losing our youth as we begin to age in life. And for many people, the aging process becomes not a process of evolution in life but a process of trying to get our youths back through various outlets: Make up, plastic surgery, creams, etc...

Oh my! I'll have to read it again with that in mind! Good write :)

"Hopeful flights but now you don’t know" nice:) i love the poem...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i like this...i see someone extremely independent...doesn't want to be chained to a relationship yet will be there for the other in a time of need...this speaker just wants things on her own terms...

[Raven Wyntermoon]

Grazi Jacob for that personal interpretation.
