OH YOUNG YOU

Oh young you!
Your posture and thoughts aren’t crazy
Your state and hurts aren’t crazy
Your self pity and confidence is a malady
…a malady of the young

II
For if you could send an eye into your future
You’d see its beautiful structure
And the line of men who would be courting for a chance
And the line of love which will be waiting for a dance

III
Not everyone gets the chance of a heartbreak
When you feel that pain, push yourself through its stake
To, like a hunter of fates, open the next chapter
The next chapter of your life

III
You’d be thankful in your tomorrow
To the one who cleared his seat besides you
For the very best of experiences and love
You’d be thankful tomorrow
For experiencing the worst
…to help you cherish the best
You’d be thankful tomorrow
To the wicked you lost
To bring you the love you want

IV
Life is a journey of thorns and pricks
…and claws and scratches
…and fangs and bites
But it is a realm of love and hugs
…and greatness and laughs
…and happiness and fulfillment
If you travel well and let the process work
…to take you to places
…places which will wow you in thankfulness
And make you thank you
For not cutting short the surrealism
…that your future holds
