Young, reckless, and wild youths are we
The night is young, dawn is all a far story
Days are good, the joys or sorrow is high
The moon is bright, the stars shine in the darkened sky
When times are fine, the sun is up so high
We will find love, always there in the distant lie
Even though we are young, we understand much
Always, forever, we will be connecting in touch
Promises made, broken, we will stand on its lot
Because we're young, reckless, and serious, we're not
All these troubles and heartaches our prime eventually soothes
Here we are, singing with flutes and lutes for youths

Young, reckless, and wild youths we are trying to be
When all is lost, all we find is our peace in ecstasy
Days are bad, the sorrows of joy finds cheer
The night is dim, the stars dwindle in fading queer
And when the time's right in our lives bend over
Through dawn until dusk, we chase love's joy and glimmer
Always, forever, we will be swimming in endless wit
Oaths broken, promised, in our words we'll eventually sit
The end is near, the time is soon to stop
When youth is lost, all our joy will seem to drop
Now that strengths and confidence our age slowly loots
We will sit, singing with flutes and lutes for youths

Rotten, careful, and tame beings we have become
Things settled down in the blatant lives of some
The times are good, the silence of noises haunt us
Way better than back in the days when it ended in fuss
Present and future require to be thought about
Live in the now, they said, it's something you can't live without
But when the seas are troubled and sadness piles
All we're left with are memories of days living in exiles
The end is here, the time for soberness is indeed real
Suddenly, we have found ourselves living in great times ordeal
Even when the sky is dark and light, away it scoots
We'll find ourselves singing with flutes and lutes for youths

And in the stillness of night we find ourselves awake
Thinking back into the times we watched the night in its wake
Dawn comes to view, the rays visible through windows
Here we are, living amidst painful joys and sorrows
The past has gone away now, replaced with burden
All we're left with are noisy silence forcing us to listen
Where is the song we used to sing in our prime
Remember every word, every clips, and every rhyme
Call to mind the memory, the chills of deep melancholy
In the darkness of night, we're in sorrow eternally
Because the days are riddled with pain that never refutes
Come back home, sing with flutes and lutes for youths

And in the stillness of night we find ourselves awakeThinking back into the times we watched the night in its wakeDawn comes to view, the rays visible through windowsHere we are, living amidst painful joys and sorrowsThe past has gone away now, re...

We all thought that being grown-up is all cool and you have everything figured out. Guess what, now that we're here, we found out that no, growing up is not cool. We are sad and stressed about every single thing and we are tired. So this poem encourages us to look back and see life through the eyes of a child. Relive memories and you'll find that there are a lot of things to not be stressed about.

What about you? What do you think of this poem? Comment below. :)
