When I die Young

Take me with you, Amaterasu, I'll burn in the paws of the okami fire god.

Let me die young

Up in smoke

And down in flame

I spit at this reality

For what fun is there

In growing old

With those you've never met?

Let me die young

Up in smoke

And down in flame

You may worship this brutality

With guns and fists and swears

But people are cold

So what's the point in dragging out what will inevitably end?

Let me die young

Up in smoke

And down in flame

And worst of all...

Absolutely in love,

And incredibly sane.

Your poetry always makes me so reminiscent of the kinds of thoughts I had at sixteen/ seventeen, when dying young was such a magnificent thought, I did write poems like this one... And I love those last two lines... Absolutely in love, and incredibly sane... How much did and do i know how to feel this way...
And you will meet them Riley, many many of them... A Lovely poem, as always...
